From the meeting
At its August 20, 2026 special meeting, the board approved funding to digitize the Steamboat Pilot's PDF copies for the Colorado Historic Newspaper Collection (CHNC). The project was funded up to $60,000, with money from Innovations and general operations. Staff said CHNC would price the work after receiving the files and that funding in $25,000 batches earns a per-page discount.
The action creates a defined digitization job with a near-term September deadline.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
