Re: Fragile newspapers



FYI. She did a nice job of responding to that question.

I second the suggestion to get price estimates on the cost of microfilming.  It
may be less than you expect.  BUT, be sure to describe the condition of the
papers (it costs _much_ less to film brand new white newspapers than the old
crumbling brown ones) and be sure that the microfilmer has had experience in
filming that type of material.

If you do photocopy, make multiple copies -- one to set aside and use as a
master, and one or two others as reference copies.
