Historic Oregon Newspapers ID[edit]

| Planned use | I can commit to adding this property to 25 the items on the webpage listed in the next month, and will continue to add them over time. |
| Number of IDs in source | There are approximately 325 items listed at the source. Currently there are nearly 200 Oregon newspapers with Wikidata entries (see this query). There will not be a perfect 1:1 correspondence, but there is good overlap. |

Motivation[edit]
The Historic Oregon Newspapers website is a project run by the University of Oregon Library. It is the state-based partner for the national (U.S.) Chronicling America project, run by the Library of Congress. (See: Q5114080) In general I believe it would be valuable to create similar properties for each state partner, however I am not as familiar with other state partner projects, and I believe it would be worthwhile to start off with an example. I do not know how to best express the relationship of a formal Chronicling America partner, but it would be good to capture that information as well. This is my first property proposal, I am sure I will have made mistakes, hopefully the intent is clear though. I'll watch for questions. Pete F (talk) 21:05, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
