Got da Penny Posted March 2, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 2, 2012 These were "pulled" from a pile of WW2 era newspapers that were "donated" to a public place where my daughter is doing archival research and working on scanning the local papers. She had "duplicates" and sent me pics. asking if i wanted them :w00t: They were going to throw them away afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niner Alpha Posted March 2, 2012 Share #8 Posted March 2, 2012 Those are fasinating to me. Thanks for posting. I have a few myself. One newspaper I picked up from a flea market. It was dated April 13, 1945. The headline was about Truman taking the oath office after Roosevelt's death. The paper originated from Philidelphia. The Evening Bulletin.

Third Herd Posted April 24, 2012 Share #11 Posted April 24, 2012 Back in the 1970's a neighbor worked for the Nebraska Historical Society microfilming newspapers. He said he misted the wrinkled newspapers with distilled water and ironed them before he microfilmed them. I don't know about preservation value of doing that, ask some place that stores old newspapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
