Lancashire / Re: Wigan Observer Newspapers for 1871
« on: Tuesday 27 July 10 18:50 BST (UK) »
Hi Kate
The newspapers are really in need of some TLC - someone has gone through some of the pages and removed certain articles. The only thing I could think of was to buy the large clear art folders so that each of these pages could be not only protected but re filed. Then I looked at the cost and decided it was just too big a job for me to undertake - not sure if the British Library would be interested in these Wigan newspapers because it just might be too expensive for them also - again I am not sure just how many of the Wigan newspapers from 1871 have survived.
Many thanks for the idea though, if all else fails I could always send them an e-mail and see what they say.
