Applications for the 2023-2024 Collaborative Newspaper Programme will be open Tuesday 7th of February 2023.
This is a programme that the National Library runs every year to invite community groups and heritage organisations to collaborate with us to add more newspapers to Papers Past. The 2023-24 programme is limited to 40,000 pages due to existing commitments. The National Library will split the costs with your group 50/50.
If you have a newspaper title that you would like to see digitised and added to Papers Past, please read the information on the National Library’s website here: https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/national-library-services/collaborative-digitisation. They will be updating this information upon opening the programme.
Additionally, the National Library will be running a pilot to digitise more magazine and journals in partnership. If you have a magazine or journal you would like digitised and added to Papers Past keep an eye on the website.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email collaborative.digitisation@dia.govt.nz
