DL Consulting recently completed work on digitizing the Hyde Park Herald.

The Hyde Park Herald archive is a searchable history of the Hyde Park neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. Hyde Park is the home of the University of Chicago and of Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States.

The archive includes every known copy of The Hyde Park Herald from 1882 until 2008 – approximately 100,000 pages at time of writing. New issues will be digitized regularly.

The Hyde Park Herald newspaper archive is built upon DL Consulting’s Veridian web delivery software for METS/ALTO data. Digitization to METS/ALTO was carried out by Digital Divide Data.
