The Harper Library began in June 2004, with a letter to the editor in The Harper News. Since then, it has grown to a collection of some 12,500 items and joined the Texas State Library System.
Collections funded by the Tocker Foundation, which distributes funds principally for the support, encouragement, and assistance to small rural libraries in Texas.
The Texas Digital Newspaper Program (TDNP) partners with communities, publishers, and institutions to promote standards-based digitization of Texas newspapers and to make them freely accessible.
