Elephind Newsletter - October 2017
Dear subscribers and Elephind users,

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to the Colorado State Library. After years of careful planning and hard work, the Colorado Historic Newspapers Collection is now preserving and serving more than one million newspaper pages. Congratulations to Regan and her team. Please share this exciting and significant achievement among your community - read more about this at Colorado Virtual Library.
The auspicious millionth page came from the Montrose Daily Press, Volume XII, Number 247, April 21, 1921, which is part of a digitization project supported by Montrose Regional Library District.

Thanks to all the organizations that support historical newspaper digitization projects. These projects help preserve the most truthful historical data for the past two hundred years of human history. We, Elephind.com, are grateful to be a part of this great mission to help bring these valuable collections to the public, and make them more accessible as a whole. We always believe the best way to preserve a collection is to encourage more people to use it. Thank you our users for making use of our system and these collections.
