The University of Florida Libraries was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to digitize Florida and the Virgin Islands’ microfilmed newspapers as part of the US Caribbean & Ethnic Florida Digital Newspaper Project.

The digitized newspapers will be included in the Library of Congress’ Chronicling America database.
