2025 Fall Campaign - Digitizing Newspapers

The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc. (EPMFF) is seeking to fulfill its financial contributions to digitizing over 100 years of local newspapers. Aligning with Colorado Gives Day and beginning November 1, EPMFF will accept donations toward the remaining $50,000 commitment to digitizing the Estes Park Trail Gazette. Since 2018, over 85 years of the Trail Gazette have been digitized and are available through the Colorado Historic Newspaper Collection website. The project is in collaboration with the Estes Valley Library District and the Town of Estes Park. While the EPMFF has provided nearly 50% of the project funding, totaling $155,000, they now seek to fulfill the entirety of their commitment so that they can pursue other projects to further the Estes Park Museum mission.
