Drew, Thanks for the great idea, I will ask the nest time I am in there. I have a digital cam & if memory serves me right, the front wall of the Times has large windows which would provide plenty of light. These books I mentioned are at The Clarksville Times office. I understand why you cant get a photostat copy made of actual newspapers, as many as very fragile now. But with the photo idea, no flash, it would cause no mare damage to original than just looking at it. Thanks again, Darla Campbell Clarksville, Tx
