As the program manager for the Oregon Digital Newspaper Program (ODNP), I’m often asked what newspaper titles we’re currently working on. We are busy!

Sandy, Newberg, Eugene, Coos Bay, Fossil, Monroe, Junction City, Eagle Point, Lakeview, Portland — we’ll be digitizing newspapers from these and other places in 2026.

We currently have 13 digitization projects in progress, with another 11 confirmed projects in the queue for FY26. Also underway is a large, federally funded project to digitize 100,000 pages of about 20 titles which will go into both the Library of Congress’s Chronicling America and our own Historic Oregon Newspapers.

Visit our website for a complete list of projects in the ODNP digitization queue.

How did the UO Libraries come to have such a large and comprehensive collection of Oregon newspapers on microfilm? What did it take to preserve thousands of newspapers scattered around the state? Why does it still matter? And how does a 1952 Oldsmobile fit in?
