HISTORICAL NEWSPAPERS
In my capacity as a senior program officer at the National Endowment for the Humanities, I oversee the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP), a partnership between the Library of Congress and the NEH to produce Chronicling America. For a number of years now, I have worked with a collaborative of NDNP partners across the country to produce the Race and Ethnicity Keyword Thesaurus for Chronicling America.
