Although we are still winding down work on our Phase I grant cycle, the DDNP has received word that we will be funded for Phase II, 2017-2019!! This $253,869 grant will fund an additional 100,000 pages of historic Delaware newspapers and will focus on two titles that eventually merged to become what we know of as The News Journal:

• Every Evening (1871-1922)
• Evening Journal (1888-1922)
