About the Project
Thanks to generous support from the Fred C. & Katherine B. Andersen Foundation and the Hugh J. Andersen Foundation, more than 85,000 pages of historic newspapers were digitized and in Phase 1 (2023-24) and are now available for free public access. Phase 2 (2024-25) will digitize more than 90,000 pages from across Washington County.
