This is happening with the Kennecott Mill Town and Mines NHL archive.
University of Alaska Fairbanks is paying to have a portion of the archive
microfilmed.  They'll keep a copy and NPS will get a copy.  Luckily, the
cost is helping us match a Save America's Treasures grant for the archive.
I guess the difference is that I'm dealing with a university and you're
dealing with an individual.  Is there a reason he shouldn't have access to
the newspapers?

Take Care,
Amy.

Hi
I am the director of an extensive archival collection that is currently
99.9% unprocessed. A researcher is interested in paying to have a
collection of newspapers microfilmed and the historical society would keep
a copy and he would keep a copy.

Is this a good policy? Anyone with experince like this? The papers are
deteriorating.  Thanks in advance for any response.
