Is any effort being made to preserve or archive the original newspapers (many printed on crumbling, acid paper)? Despite the fragility and crumbling nature of these yellowed originals, they nevertheless contain photographs and illustrations that reproduce terribly on microfilm. Many of these printed newspaper photographs, despite their screened format and grain, are the only "originals" we'll ever have. These crumbling papers should just be put away somewhere and saved anyway. Future technology may make it possible to make further use of them. I fear that libraries may be all too eager to destroy originals once they are microfilmed.
