Nicholson Baker and NEH



Yes Nicholson Baker knows about the NEH US Newspaper Project, and would kill
it if he could.  In his New Yorker article, he said "not since the
monk-harassments of sixteenth-century England has a government tolerated,
indeed stimulated, the methodical eradication of so much primary source
material."  Mr. Baker has never been one to shy away from an overstatement.

The USNP Website is at:
http://www.neh.gov/preservation/usnp.html

It does contain links to the various state projects, some of which (alas,
not ours yet) have their catalog records up on the Web.
