--NewspaperCat Announcement
--
--It is our pleasure to announce that the Catalog of Digital Historical
--Newspapers (NewspaperCat) is now available at:
--http://www.newspapercat.org . NewspaperCat is an online database
--providing links to over 1000 full-text digital newspapers in the United
--States and Caribbean.  The project's current coverage, which began with
--the Southeastern United States, is growing rapidly and will soon cover
--all fifty states.  The purpose of NewspaperCat is to improve access to
--historical newspapers digitized by libraries, archives, historical
--societies and other non-profit organizations that remain buried within
--search engine returns such as Google PageRank. These newspapers
--represent a rich source of primary research material for researchers,
--students, and the general public. The project to build NewspaperCat was
--funded by the George A. Smathers Libraries and developed with the
--cooperation of the Digital Library Center of the University of Florida.
