Abstract
  • This paper presents the findings of a case study in evaluation and preservation of a title held in a collection of historic Latin American newspapers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Academic Affairs Library holds in storage the complete run from 1911-1945 of the Venezuela newspaper El Universal, which has been continually published in Caracas since 1909. Although the newspapers are embrittled and their bound folio volumes damaged, they nevertheless represent a considerable information resource. Not only does this paper outline the issues related to evaluating, preserving, and providing access to this particular title, it also provides a framework to guide the process that is applicable to other collections of historic newspapers in academic research libraries.
