Homestead Records
Homestead National Monument of America, located in Beatrice, Nebraska, and the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL) contracted with the National Archives & Records Administration to microfilm the Broken Bow Land Office records (1890-1908). Using this microfilm, UNL has created an online index to the records. This pilot project is the precursor to new partnerships and, we hope, to new scholarship.

Nebraska Newspaper Project
The Nebraska Newspaper Project, funded 1992-2000, is part of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) grant category entitled the "U.S. Newspaper Program." The project is dedicated to cataloging and preserving Nebraska newspapers through preservation microfilm. Beginning in 2007, funding has been received through the NEH "National Digital Newspaper Program" to digitize and provide online access to 100,000 pages of Nebraska newspapers, and the new project is called the Nebraska Digital Newspaper Project. Both projects are described in one web site.
