DENVER COLORADO. August 13, 2017 — We did it! We have added over one million pages of Colorado historic newspaper content to the database. Hurrah!
The auspicious millionth page came from the Montrose Daily Press, Volume XII, Number 247, April 21, 1921, which is part of a digitization project supported by Montrose Regional Library District.
In the past two years, the database has grown by over 350,000 pages of digitized newspapers, thanks to the efforts of our partner organizations – the archives, libraries, museums, historical societies, genealogical societies, and private individuals within the state. They have provided the funding to digitize the microfilm or hard copy newspapers near and dear to their hearts, thus helping to preserve the unique voice of their local communities. Without their efforts, we could never have achieved this outstanding result.
It has been a long journey to reach our current status, but it was a labor of love, and we look forward to adding the next million pages to be shared with Colorado residents, teachers, students, researchers, and the world.
