Newspaper Projects

Connecticut Newspaper Project – From October 1991 to July 2002, the Connecticut Newspaper Project (CNP) worked to locate, catalog and inventory all American newspapers held in libraries, historical societies and other repositories in the state, and to preserve and increase access to newspapers by microfilming as many of their state newspapers as possible. Publications produced by the CNP includes charts of related newspapers, newspaper indexes, a list of Ethnic newspapers, a history of Connecticut newspapers, and more.
