Where Have All the Archives Gone? by Barbara Quint , Information Today (Jul/Aug)
A major hole in newspaper archives has developed over the past few years as print declined and use of digital increased. Web materials at newspapers were not saved, and the new online editions of newspapers haven't been captured by processes geared to microfilming and scanning print.
Barbara Quint's closing question - "How long will this continue? How long before content owners and licensors solve the problems involved? Both build their businesses boasting of the importance and quality of their content. How important can it be if even its owners and carriers forget to save it?"
