Congratulations to Providence Public Library. They’ve just bagged $250,000 from the National Digital Newspaper Program, for the…
Digitization of 50,000 pages of Rhode Island newspapers published before 1923.
Presumably online and open to the world, rather than locked down for library visitors only. In which case some previously unknown Lovecraft-iness might perhaps be found in the new material.
I wonder if the incident of HPL being bitten on the knee by a bear at the zoo in Roger Williams Park was written up in the newspapers. If so, I hope it turns up in this project!
