The University of Tennessee will digitize 100,000 pages of Tennessee’s microfilmed newspapers from 1836 to 1922.

The school has received $325,165 from the National Endowment for the Humanities to work with the Tennessee State Library and Archives as part of the NEH’s National Digital Newspaper Program.

An advisory group of genealogists, educators, researchers and citizens from across the state will select newspapers for the project. The pages will be digitized over the next two years.
