The Caribbean Newspaper Digital Library (CNDL) is a cooperative digital library for newspapers resources from the Caribbean and circum-Caribbean. CNDL provides access to digitized versions of Caribbean newspapers, gazettes, and other research materials on newsprint currently held in archives, libraries, and private collections. CNDL will have on-going newspaper digitization, expanding the geographic, temporal, political and linguistic variety of the newspapers.
Currently, this project has been granted permissions to digitize current newspaper issues from The Nassau Tribune, Abaconian (Abaconian Website), Awe Mainta (Awe Mainta Website), and Justice (Justice Website). To grant permissions to add your newspaper, please contact us or use the permissions form here.
Please see our recent call for partners or contact us to inquire about this project.
The Caribbean Newspaper Digital Library takes up the legacy of prior preservation and access projects, including the Caribbean Newspaper Imaging Project which was supported with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, following the tradition established before and solidified with the Farmington Plan. Subsequent support for the project comes from the newspaper publishers and from archives and libraries across the Caribbean, Europe and the Americas.
