The Washington State Library launches its new Washington Digital Newspapers site, with 400k+ pages of history now more accessible than ever.

Congratulations to the The Washington State Library (WSL) on the launch of the new Washington Digital Newspapers website! 

It brings together over 400,000 pages from the Library's earliest online newspaper collection with titles digitized as part of the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP). 

As a rich source of primary materials for teachers, students, genealogists, and professional researchers it’s one of the best “go-to” places to find Washington newspapers.

The WSL chose to work with the team here at Veridian, who specialize in digital newspaper collections and have managed several significant NDNP projects over the years. The project took 6 months from signing the contract to going live, including data transfer, site branding and custom feature development.
