New Website for New Mexico National Digital Newspaper Project

I received an email today from Andrew Weidner, Project Coordinator of New Mexico Historical Newspapers announcing that the New Mexico National Digital Newspaper Project (part of the Library of Congress' Chronicling America program) has set up a site to link to their content at http://newmexicodigitalnewspapers.weebly.com/. From this site, you can view a map showing the locations of where the digitized newspapers were originally published, a timeline of when they were published, and links to all the titles so far digitized. You can also read the related blog and see how far production has come (look for both under About in the menu).

Additionally, the Library of Congress has notified the the New Mexico Historical Newspapers project that another 30,000 New Mexico newspaper images will go online soon, including many new titles. Mr. Weidner will update me as soon as that happens.
