| Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers: Announcing Webinar--Double Victory in Black and White |
| Join us for the webinar "Double Victory in Black and White: What Digitized Historical Newspapers Reveal about the African American Experience of WWII" on Thursday, September 29, 2022 from 4-5:15pm EDT.Drawing on his new book, "Half American: The Epic Story of African Americans Fighting World War II at Home and Abroad" (Viking, October 2022), historian Matthew Delmont explores how Black newspapers led the Double Victory campaign during WWII, to secure victory over fascism abroad and victory over racism at home. Black newspaper reporters told the stories of the vital roles Black troops played and brought the triumphs and tragedies of the war home to Black readers. The Black press raised questions regarding race, democracy, and citizenship that remain relevant eight decades later.After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

| Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers: Celebrating Two Major Milestones |
| The National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) has reached two major milestones this September: the? inclusion of New Hampshire? as the 50th? state to join the program and making 20 million pages freely available to the public on the? Chronicling America? website.Dartmouth College will serve as the New Hampshire state hub, partnering with the New Hampshire State Library, the New Hampshire Historical Society, and the University of New Hampshire Library to identify historical newspapers that reflect the state’s political, economic, and cultural history for inclusion in Chronicling America.? The success of the program over the past 18 years has extended the collection scope to the current date range of 1777-1963, to include any language published in the United States, and to include newspapers published in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. It is on the strength and diversity of these collective contributions that Chronicling America has become such an impactful database at 20 million pages, unique among other free digitized newspaper collections that may focus on a region, topic, or period in American history.Click here for more information. |

| Step Into The Painting |
| I've raised two boys, so I understand how busy life can be for parents. Finding free time to spend with your children between responsibilities at work and responsibilities at home can be difficult.I also know this: opportunities to engage with your children are in front of you right now, but you have to harness them. Instead of sitting back and watching your child's life unfold in front of you … step into the painting.That phrase – “step into the painting” – means instead of standing back and admiring life from a distance, step into it.The post Step Into The Painting appeared first on Jim Daly. |
