\"Chronicling<\/a>Over the last few years you’ve enjoyed browsing and searching America’s historical newspapers on Chronicling America<\/a>, but all the time you were thinking, I know<\/em> there’s so much more I could be doing with this data. Well now’s your chance!<\/p>\n

NEH has launched a competition designed to encourage you to “develop data visualizations, web-based tools, or other innovative web-based projects using a user-friendly Application Program Interface (API) to explore the data contained in Chronicling America<\/em> data.”<\/p>\n

Read more about the challenge on this website<\/a>. The contest is open to the public (some restrictions apply, see Rules on the website) – enter as an individual or group. This would make a great collaborative project for, say, historians, social scientists, digital humanists,\u00a0 and computer scientists. Dig into the data and create something brilliant!!<\/p>\n

To help start the cogs turning, here are some links to projects that have used Chronicling America data for visualizations, and also links to other data visualization projects, for inspiration.<\/p>\n

\"Journalism's<\/a>Journalism’s Voyage West<\/a><\/strong>
