In 2010, the CDNC initiated the "Born Digital Project", with the goal to collect and host contemporary PDFs from newspaper publishers. Roughly a dozen publishers have or do participate in the project. See California Digital Newspaper Collection for more information. the site gets 140,000 unique monthly visitors from academics, amateur historians, genealogists, schoolteachers, et al. In January 2025, the CDNC was notified that California was withholding their annual appropriation of $430,000 for their 2024–2025 budget. In April 2025, CDNC director Brian Geiger said they needed to raise at least $300,000 to keep the archival site operational, and if they were unable to raise the funds, there is the possibility the site could go offline. The state budget cuts are a result of the national budget cuts to libraries.

Digitization

The California Digital Newspaper Collection follows standards established by the National Digital Newspaper Program.

is scanned to create TIFF images; whenever possible, master negative film is used. The CBSR manages an archive of approximately 100,000 reels of negative film. These are stored and maintained by the California Newspaper Microfilm Archive. When negative film is unavailable positive can be used, but image quality and OCR will not be as good. The TIFF images are then processed or "digitized" to create derivative files, including a JP2, PDF, and METS/ALTO XML for each page. Unlike NDNP, the CDNC has traditionally digitized to article-level rather than just page-level. Individual "segments" on a page—articles, illustrations, advertisements, etc.—are identified during digitization and can be retrieved by the researcher. For an illustration of the difference between page- and article-level, compare the ''San Francisco Call'' in the CDNC to the same title in Chronicling America. Recently the CDNC has begun digitizing some titles to page-level, but most are still article-level. The main advantage of page-level is lower cost when done in an automated fashion, without human input.
