For those of you coming to ALA, just a reminder that we always enjoy seeing you. The Midwest microfilm and data conversion firm, Crest Information Services, has recently given NRP exclusive worldwide rights to more than 200 American newspapers filmed at its Iowa plant. Titles come from more than 30 states throughout the U.S., and from as far away as Florida and Alaska. Most of the newspapers are small and without the significance of The New York Times or The Washington Post. Nevertheless, many are important for regional studies and will be of interest to public, state and university libraries in the surrounding areas.
Titles are available both in silver and vesicular film.
A complete catalog will soon be widely mailed. Please drop us a note to be certain of receiving one. Crest has also filmed the archival holdings of the Iowa State Historical Society. Until now, details of this rich resource have not been publicized. Nevertheless, the Society holds a large number of old newspapers and other research materials that will be of substantial interest to historians of the area.
