I’d like to see more of this done with other historic boston newspapers and journals. I have used your microfilm library of old newpapers, but the text is poorly rendered,and once film is damaged or lost, the records are gone forever. I noticed that reels of several papers (Globe and the “Republic) during the “Honey Fitz” era are lost for good, (more likely pilfered).
