Jour 271
Have you ever wondered where you can find an old hard copy of the Daily Mississippian and other local newspapers?
Hidden on the first floor of the library, there is a small, well lit room full of old copies of the local newspapers.
“The newspapers are kept in this warm room to prevent the paper from disintegrating too fast. The papers are turning yellow because they are old and the paper that it is printed on is old.”
Librarians have obtained every single newspaper that has been published since the newspaper stop issuing their papers to them on microfilm. In this room, the newspapers are filled with daily events that have occurred in Oxford and on the campus of Ole Miss.
Some of the newspapers that are in this room are the Daily Mississippian and the Oxford Eagle. The room is accessible to the public and could be a very useful source for anyone who needs information about local events that have happened.
