The U.S. Newspaper Program Microfilms Newspapers

In cooperation with the Library of Congress, in 1982 the National Endowment for the Humanities began funding the United States Newspaper Program—"a cooperative national effort among the states and the federal government to locate, catalog, and preserve on microfilm newspapers published in the United States from the eighteenth century to the present."

The program evolved into the National Digital Newspaper Program at the Library of Congress.
