The Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program will be digitising just over 4 million pages over 4 years, starting in July 2007. These pages will cover a range of titles from every state and territory, from the earliest newspaper published in Australia in 1803 through to the mid 1950's. A million pages from the Sydney Morning Herald 1831-1954 will be digitised as part of the 4 million.

The titles and date ranges for the 50,000 page pilot are outlined here:
