The Nebraska Newspapers project is the University of Nebraska's adaptation of the Library of Congress's Chronicling America application. This project makes historic Nebraskan newspapers available to be viewed, browsed, and searched online. For information about the contributors to the Nebraska Newspapers, please visit the Nebraska Newspapers About Page. For more information about the purpose and awardees of the Chronicling America project, please refer to the Chronicling America website.

If you are interested in using the Chronicling America application, we strongly recommend that you work directly from the original code base, https://github.com/LibraryOfCongress/chronam. You may also be interested in the University of Oregon's Chronicling America rendition, Historic Oregon Newspapers, which uses a custom image server.
