[Libs-Or] Microfilming newspapers

[Janet Webster]

Hi,
What happened to University of Oregon’s Digital Newspaper Program?  I thought that they were willing to partner with local newspapers to archive the digital copies.  It’s not microfilming the print, but actually storing the digital.  Is that an option for you?
