A stash of papers was found in between the preliminary LSTA proposal and the final LSTA proposal, and refilming created a much better set of microfilm and therefor a better product of digitization. If you're interested in that process, see the blog message from the time: http://odnp.wordpress.com/2013/11/21/newspaper-image-quality-and-oregon-city-history/<br><br>Regardless, Dan, you could contact Sheila Rabun at the ODNP for some information. I'm ccing her on this message so you'll have her email.<br><br>I found the ODNP people very easy to work with and very fast. And Sheila is definitely on top of everything.<br><br>Happy New Year to you all.<br><br>Sue<br><br><br><div><span></span>Sue Adams, Reference Librarian<br>sadams@orcity.org<br>Oregon City Public Library<br>606 John Adams St.<br>Oregon City, Oregon 97045<br>503-657-8269 ext. 1017 Direct phone<br>503-657-3702 fax<br>Website: <a href="http://www.orcity.org/library" target="_blank">www.orcity.org/library</a><br>Follow us on: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/oregoncitylibrary" target="_blank">Facebook!</a><br>Subscribe to our <a href="http://orcity.us5.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=271f21539981149d9f0576ba6&id=38181f8585" target="_blank">email newsletter</a>!<br><i>PUBLIC RECORDS LAW DISCLOSURE: This e-mail is subject to the State Retention Schedule and may be made available to the public.</i><br><br> <span></span><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Leah Griffith" <leah.griffith@newbergoregon.gov><br><b>To: </b>"Maureen Cole" <mcole@ci.oregon-city.or.us>, "dan cawley" <librarybusiness@yahoo.com>, "Libs-OR Listserv" <libs-or@listsmart.osl.state.or.us><br><b>Sent: </b>Wednesday, December 31, 2014 10:46:39 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Libs-Or] [BULK] oregon newspaper project<br><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I’m talking about 2015 newspapers and beyond which will be historical in 2030 or even earlier. Even with today’s move to digital everything, for a small
town, the local paper still provides that local information like obituaries, events and such that may or may not be recorded anywhere else.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">From the last e-mail from UO, it sounds like we’ll know more in mid January, but in the meantime, we’ll be keeping copies of our paper both to bind and to digitize.
I’m hoping <u>all</u> Oregon newspapers will be digitized from 2015 on to replace the microfilm copies we’ve all been buying. How we’ll purchase access to those digitized files and if they are subscriptions that we have to pay each year for access (and
we’re at the whim of the provider) or will we own those digitized copies. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I would love to digitize our old papers, but I really more concerned right now with not wanting to lose the historic value of the current paper.

valuable resource that the local paper provides as an historical record.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">We got many Oregon City historical newspapers digitized through an LSTA grant and the ODNP at UO. We still have some to do, but centralizing them at ODNP seems
the way to go. Or am I missing something? My reference librarian who wrote the grant, Sue Adams, may want to comment on this as she actually shepherded the project and wrote the grant (and did a great job!). Perhaps we are just talking about historical ones
and you guys are talking about current ones?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I would be curious about this as well and perhaps a number of us could join together to get a better price. While I firmly agree with the move to digitization,
I am concerned about the smaller papers in our state being digitized at this time and the access in the future. In 20-50 years will those digital papers of 2015 be available to searchers of the Newberg Graphic like the microfilm of 1888 is available to
searchers today? And yes, I know that microfilm can degrade and disintegrate. We also bind our paper copies and have an almost full run of those original papers for researchers as well.
