Newspapers: Digitization: Searchable Archives of New Mexico State U. Student Paper, The Round Up (1893-1999) Now Available (Free)

From an Article:

No more biweekly print editions. Instead, content will be posted online daily, supplemented by a weekly print edition. And through the Round-Up Digitalization Project, archives of the newspaper from as far back at 1893 will be available online for anyone to access.

[Clip]

The $15,000 project was sponsored by student fees from the Associated Students of New Mexico State University, a grant from the New Mexico Historical Records Advisory Board and private donations from former Round Up editors.

"We bring the collection to you," said Elizabeth Titus, library dean. "We did this to increase access to the historical collection. Before, you had to have someone with you to study the archives. Also, preservation, because there was serious deterioration."
