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!

Hello, all.

For those of you who contract to digitize your local newspaper:  Who is your vendor?  We have used VRC, and its predecessors, for many years, but they do not appear to want our business anymore.  Any referrals?

Bob
