The University of Texas at Arlington Libraries proposes digitization of approximately 105,000 negatives from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram Collection, 1934-1955. This time period includes significant historical events such as the end of the Great Depression, World War II, the birth of the Cold War, and other notable events. This collection is the only extant publicly available newspaper photo morgue in the region, and the vast majority of these images were never published. The negatives are currently accessible to patrons only through the mediation of UTA Libraries Special Collections staff, which makes it a truly hidden collection ripe for global exposure through the digitization efforts proposed in this grant. These negatives will be scanned as .TIFFs for preservation, and .JPGs will be derived for online open access. The index for the negatives will reside in a newly created database, rich with metadata and widely available via a website interface.
