[BCMA] Looking for information on newspaper digitization

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Talk to Murphy Shewchuk. It's the Nicola Valley Museum and Archives. He can tell you about a unique method of copying newspapers if you don't have microfilm. You may also want to talk to Peter Ord at the Penticton Museum, about another method, if you already have microfilm of your papers.

  I think the Merritt Museum did that last year with great success, I don't know the contact there, but heard about it at the BC Museums Association Conference.

    The Princeton and District Museum and Archives is considering digitizing its newspaper collection. If anyone has recently gone through a digitization project we would be interested in hearing recommendations and suggestions. We would also like to know if there are any pitfalls to be aware of.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
