Researching in old newspapers no longer means sitting at a microfilm reader for hours on end, winding through a seemingly endless string of news stories and advertisements. Today, the results we seek could be a matter of minutes away, thanks to the many digitization projects that have placed millions of newspaper pages on the Internet. But what are the pitfalls? This presentation takes you through the digitization process, from hard copy to your computer screen. It is designed to help you achieve the best results from your work. (Note: Dave Obee has worked in newspapers for almost 50 years, He has researched with them for almost 50 years, and he has been behind a major digitization project. This talk draws from real experience.) For more information: https://fh.lib.byu.edu/2022/03/30/a-fresh-light-on-newspapers-dave-obee/
