Because digitization has its benefits and drawbacks, digitization can pose as a powerful outreach and preservation tool; however, archives should not use digitization as their only tool for such purposes. Digitization must be balanced with traditional archival methods to both preserve documents and ensure their accessibility. My project will focus on the completion of the newspaper archive and a printed "archival preview" to highlight key portions of the collection. Both aspects of the project require digitization to complete, but do not rely solely upon it. The original documents are still being kept and preserved, and the preview will serve as an outreach tool both in printed and digital form.
