No one is saving your newspapers. Not your local library or historical society. Not the vendor you pay to host your PDFs.
If we don’t do something soon, there’s a very good chance the papers you produce today won’t be available to your children and grandchildren. Many of the newspapers published in the last decade have already been lost forever.
This was the urgent message I tried to convey at the California Press Foundation meeting on Dec. 3. It’s a message founded on years of experience. The center I manage at UC Riverside has been involved with California newspapers for more than a quarter of a century.
