Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Georgia's National Digital Newspaper Program Grant
The National Digital Newspaper Program grant aims to create a comprehensive digital resource of historically significant newspapers from Georgia. The target outcomes for this grant are multifaceted and centered around enhancing the accessibility and preservation of the state's rich journalistic heritage. By digitizing and making these newspapers available online, the program seeks to support research, education, and the general public's understanding of Georgia's history and cultural development.
One of the primary outcomes of this grant is the creation of a searchable database that will be permanently maintained and freely accessible online. This database will contain a vast collection of Georgia's historic newspapers, providing a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and the general public. The database will be curated in partnership with the Georgia Archives, a division of the Secretary of State's office, which is responsible for preserving and making accessible the state's historical records.
The digitization of Georgia's historic newspapers will also contribute to the state's economic development by supporting the tourism industry. The coastal region of Georgia, known for its historic cities like Savannah, attracts millions of tourists each year. By making the historic newspapers from these areas available online, researchers and tourists can gain a deeper understanding of the region's history and cultural significance, thereby enhancing the overall tourist experience.
Enhancing Research and Education in Georgia
The National Digital Newspaper Program grant will significantly enhance research and education in Georgia by providing access to primary sources that were previously difficult or impossible to access. Researchers will be able to study the state's history, cultural development, and the role it has played in national and international events. This will be particularly beneficial for students and researchers at Georgia's universities, such as the University of Georgia, who will be able to access a wealth of information from anywhere in the world.
Furthermore, the grant will also support the state's literacy and education initiatives. By making historic newspapers available, educators will be able to create engaging lesson plans that bring history to life, thereby enhancing the learning experience for students. This aligns with the state's efforts to improve educational outcomes, particularly in the area of history and social studies.
Measuring Success in Georgia
The success of the National Digital Newspaper Program grant in Georgia will be measured by the number of newspapers digitized, the number of pages made available online, and the level of engagement with the database. The Georgia Archives will work closely with the National Endowment for the Humanities to track these metrics and ensure that the project is meeting its target outcomes.
In terms of specific metrics, the grant aims to digitize at least 100,000 pages of historic newspapers from Georgia. The project will also track the number of users accessing the database, as well as the number of research requests made using the database. By providing a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and the general public, the National Digital Newspaper Program grant will make a significant contribution to the state's cultural and educational landscape.
Q: What types of newspapers will be prioritized for digitization in Georgia?

Q: How will the digitized newspapers be made accessible to the public in Georgia? A: The digitized newspapers will be made available through a freely accessible online database, which will be maintained by the National Endowment for the Humanities in partnership with the Georgia Archives. Q: Can researchers and educators in Georgia request specific newspapers or topics to be digitized? A: Yes, researchers and educators can provide input on the types of newspapers and topics that should be prioritized for digitization through a public outreach process conducted by the Georgia Archives.
