In 2004, the NEH announced guidelines for annual cycles of two-year NDNP awards to enhance the study of American history. These awards enable cultural heritage institutions to join the NDNP for the purpose of selecting, digitizing, and delivering to the LC approximately 100,000 newspaper pages per award. Following a competitive application process, the NEH made its first awards in 2005. No awards were issued in 2006. The application process resumed in 2007, and since that time the NEH has annually solicited proposals for both initial awards to new institutions as well as continuing awards to returning partners.

  • 2016-2023 Awards = Pages published between 1690-1963
  • 2010-2015 Awards = Pages published between 1836-1922
  • 2009 Award = Pages published between 1860-1922
  • 2008 Award = Pages published between 1880-1922
