Daily Cardinal Collection & Digitization
The University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries has embarked upon a project to digitize The Daily Cardinal. Founded in 1892, The Daily Cardinal is one of the oldest continuously published student newspapers in the United States, and it is a priceless resource for UW-Madison history.
Once complete, the digitized issues will be freely available online. The searchable digital collection of The Daily Cardinal will be an important informational and scholarly resource for students, alumni and other researchers. The collection will build upon already completed digital projects, including the Badger yearbooks and the UW Alumni Association magazine.
We hope you will consider making a donation to support this important project.
