Microfilming the Lyle Tribune

I gathered lots of information about getting old copies of the Lyle Tribune microfilmed. The Mower County Historical Society has actual newspaper copies from 1895 to 1951. I got some quotes on getting them microfilmed and as part of that looked into other newspapers at MCHS that have not yet been microfilmed. After talking it over with John Haymond at MCHS and the Minnesota Historical Society, we think we'll try to apply for a larger grant to microfilm all of them. The grant deadline is July 31, 2015 and it will have to be a mid-sized grant which will require additional documentation. Many of the newspapers are already brittle and we risk losing them if we don't do something soon.
