Students are at the heart of a university campus. How students respond to local, national, and international events provides insight into student life and their socio-historical contexts that define a campus and that campus’ unique history. The Bicentennial Student Newspapers Project aims to digitize student newspapers across five IU campuses: IU East, IUPUI, IU Kokomo, IU Northwest and IU South Bend. Those papers will join the IU Southeast student newspapers already digitized to create a rich corpus of IU-wide student newspapers ripe for research. Once digitized, over 50,000 pages of student newspapers spanning the 1930s to the 2010s will be available for discovery in Pages Online by Summer 2020.
