With support from a National Endowment for the Humanities grant, they partnered with researchers from Stanford University's Bill Lane Center for the American West to develop their Mapping Texts Project, a new tool giving users access to interactive visualizations that will offer new ways to explore the content of historical Texas newspapers rather than typing words into a search engine.
