The other day I went into my garage attic. The only thing there was an October 1956 edition of the Newark Evening News. I looked through it for fun, but figured someone might want it. My wife doesn't want it lying around the house. She doesn't want anything lying around the house.

I guess anyone can have it. It's a little brittle. Any takers?

The Newark Evening News is available on microfilm in scores of libraries throughout the state. Newsprint that is 50 years old is practically cornflakes, and really isn't worth keeping.

This is true. I was just at the Newark Public Library this weekend, and they have the entire thing. They also have clipping files alphabetically arranged, which is a godsend. I posted about it at my research site: http://jamesbetelle.wordpress.com/2006/08/06/a-newark-state-of-mind/

That said, microfilmm quality is garbage next to the real thing, if you want to make a quality scan of photographs.
