To help preserve this newspaper the tissue we useis acid free but still the newspaper is vulnerableand deserving ofgreat care. Therefore no sunlight and not to be exposed to hightemperatures. For centuries our priceless history has beenpreserved intact by libraries, universities and colleges andmuseums. However progress demanded that we preserve our newspaperhistory by microfilming. This was done and the decades of historywere simply dumped. Microfilmed editions it was discoveredhad a far far shorter life than the original and digital storage was decidedwas the perfect solution. Sadly the hardware and necessarysoftware becomes quickly dated and keeping storage systemsaccessible requires vigilance and continued investment.
The original vintage newspaper is endangered.
