Measurable Outcome(s)

The task was completed insuring the microfilmed papers will exist far into the future. This insures access to the historical data that exists on their pages. This is what we intended to do.

We planned as carefully as we could, but we underestimated the total number of pages in the 30 years of newspapers. If we counted every page is the only way we could be more accurate.

The owners of the papers were very happy with the condition the papers were returned and the binding was well done.
