History of the Newspaper

To help preserve our newspapers the tissue we use is acid free but still the newspaper is vulnerable and deserving of great care. Therefore no sunlight and not to be exposed to high temperatures. For centuries our priceless history has been preserved intact by libraries universities and colleges and museums.However progress demanded that we preserve our newspaper history by microfilming.This was done and the decades of history were simply dumped. Microfilmed editions it was discovered had a far far shorter life than the original and digital storage was decided was the perfect solution. Sadly the hardware and necessary software becomes quickly dated and keeping storage systems accessible requires vigilance and continued investment.

The original vintage newspaper is endangered.

We have briefly outlined the history of the vandalized newspaper because we are emphasizing the importance of preserving this totally irreplaceable historical resource.There is no better place than in the security of individuals and families and the more newspapers and magazines find their way to such homes the less likely that progress will destroy what remains.
