Hi Bob (and those who may also be interested in newspaper digitization), Below is a list of vendors you can explore for your newspaper digitization needs. You can also view this webinar (How to Pick Your (News)paper Selection, Resources, and Workflows for Newspaper Digitization - https://youtu.be/joSrKpFiyng?si=kXsyobmoJWybixAh) for additional information about newspaper digitization resources. I hope this is helpful, but please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions! Microfilming and Digitization Vendors Note: This is for information only.
