The process was improved during the war and came into popular use afterwards. The Society was among the earliest state historical repositories to develop a newspaper microfilming program. The benefits were obvious to curators and the public alike, as microfilming provided a method by which valuable information contained on deteriorating newsprint was preserved, while reducing the storage needed for bulky originals. The Society continues its filming program today, microfilming the approximately 200 titles that it receives from the state's newspaper publishers. The microfilm can be viewed at the Society's headquarters at 1500 'R' St. in Lincoln.
Individual reels are also available for purchase or through interlibrary loan.
