| The Washington Digital Newspapers program of the Washington State Library has been working closely with Sound Publishing, the newspaper publisher that provides news on community activities in northwestern Washington. Due to a recent purchase of Sound Publishing by Carpenter Media, several regional publications & distribution offices have closed in Port Angeles, Everett, Whidbey and other areas. Bound newspaper issues ranging from the late 1890s through the early 2000s are in danger of being recycled. In some cases, we know there are bound volumes that have not been preserved on microfilm or other formats and may be the only copies left in existence. The State Library would like to eventually preserve these on microfilm, but they must find a new location for them before the end of June where they will be safe until they can be filmed. This is where they need your help! Below is the list of newspaper titles that will need to be re-housed by June 30. Action timeline By April 30th: Please email Shawn Schollmeyer with which titles your organization is interested in preserving and storing. She will provide further detail on the quantity of bound volumes and approximate date ranges. Forward this message to other preservation colleagues in your city or county who may be able to assist May Arrange to pick up titles by the end of May. If there are a large number of volumes we may be able to arrange a truck delivery via Sound Publishing in some cases. June All arrangements will need to be made before the end of June. Due to federal and state budget cuts there will be little to no capacity to make arrangements for you to pick up your titles and related archival press photos after this time. Sound Publishing can no longer house the materials after June. Email Shawn if you are interested in preserving one of the newspaper titles listed below: |
