The California Digital Newspaper Collection is supported by the
National Endowment for the Humanities, the Library of Congress, and the California State Library.
The collection is a project of the Center for Bibliographical Studies and Research at the University
of California at Riverside.
The collection currently contains nearly 400,000 pages of historic California newspapers,
digitized for the National
Digital Newspaper Program.
All of the California Digital Newspaper Collection is presented free on the Internet using
Veridian™.

“The CBSR has been digitizing historical California newspapers
since 2005. We have used Content Conversion Specialists' docWorks software exclusively
to create our data and used DL Consulting's Veridian software to host it. For us, one of
the benefits of the collaboration between CCS and DL Consulting is that our data ingests
smoothly and indexes and displays properly. And of course it is reassuring to know that
other large newspaper digitization projects, like the New Zealand National Library and
Singapore National Library Board, also use docWorks for conversion and Veridian for hosting
and access.
