History
On March 31, 2004, Bruce Cole, the directory of the NEH, and James Billington, the Librarian of Congress, signed an agreement creating the National Digital Newspaper Program.

The program is broken down into two phases. Each successive phase will both increase the scope of the program and refine the requirements for data collection.
