A project by the Huron County Library that began in 2014 has now earned the service provincial accolades.
The region’s library services has been awarded the Ontario Library Association’s (OLA) Archival and Preservation Achievement Award for the Huron County Digitized Newspaper project.
In 2014, Huron County Library officials began digitizing historic newspapers from the region’s former publications.
The project has resulted in the digitization of more than 350,000 local newspaper and magazine pages from microfilm and hard copies.
The online collection brings together newspapers and magazines, spanning from 1848 to 2019, in one convenient location that anyone can access, for free, from anywhere there is an internet connection.
