Knight Ridder to digitize Civil War newspapers

Resource Shelf points to this story from Newspapers and Technology, which describes a project by Knight Ridder to digitize Civil War-era issues of the Philadelphia Inquirer. The article says the archives will be “available this fall,” but it doesn’t sound like they are imminent. It also sounds like not every article from the paper will be digitized, just those relating to the war. These should be rich material, though, including the Gettysburg Address and “eyewitness accounts from the battlefield.”
