Brian - thank you VERY much for the info about the newspapers. I used to
be the senior cataloger for the Virginia Newspaper Project but moved
into another position before we began serious fieldwork. I will forward
your message to Errol Somay - the director of the project. He is in New
Orleans for a meeting but should be back next week.
Take care. Tom

Tom,
I can't help you with the Southside Virginian, but I have a friend who
has some scattered issues of Wise County newspapers, some of which I had
never even heard of, from as early as 1890. In my opinion, they should
be preserved. Now, here's the catch. I don't think she would give them
to you, but I do think she would let you microfilm them. People here
are very possessive, even in regard to historic documents. That's the
main reason you don't get much in the way of donations from this part of
Virginia, but if you could settle for copies and let her keep her
originals, it seems everybody might be happy in the end.

I am seeking two issues of the Southside Virginian (vol. 8) from 1990 to
complete a set for the Library collection. They are Vol. 8, no. 1 and
no. 4.
If anyone on the list would be willing to donate these issues to the
Library please contact me. Thanks. Tom Ray
