Newspapers for very special occasions
From our massive archive of newspapers we can with
99.9% certainty match your special gift occasion be it birth-date,
anniversary, gold,, silver, diamond, ruby, even paper.
No matter what the headlines or content the most
important content is THE DATE. To the recipient that date is
very special.
Receiving such a gift is the opportunity to search
for the exciting or mundane stories, read the gossip, understand the prejudices
of the period, gasp at the fashions and recall names of the great and small and
good, bad and sometimes evil.
To help preserve this newspaper the tissue we use
is acid free but still the newspaper is vulnerable and deserving of
great care. Therefore no sunlight and not to be exposed to high
temperatures. For centuries our priceless history has been
preserved intact by libraries, universities and colleges and
museums. However progress demanded that we preserve our newspaper
history by microfilming. This was done and the decades of history
were simply dumped. Microfilmed editions it was discovered
had a far far shorter life than the original and digital storage was decided
was the perfect solution. Sadly the hardware and necessary
software becomes quickly dated and keeping storage systems
accessible requires vigilance and continued investment.
The original vintage newspaper is endangered.
We have briefly outlined the history of the
vandalized newspaper because we are emphasizing the importance of preserving
this totally irreplaceable historical resource. There is no better place than
in the security of individuals and families and the more newspapers and
magazines find their way to such homes the less likely that progress will
destroy what remains.
And who knows the content might now or in the
future attract collectors, researchers or historians anxious to locate an only
remaining copy.
To whom it may concern-----“read happily and please
take care of this precious newspaper”
