Dear Serials Librarians,<br><br>We received a solicitation from Heritage Microfilm at <a target="_top" href="http://www.newspaperarchive.com" target="_blank">www.newspaperarchive.com</a>. <br><br>They state :<br><b>OUR MISSION:</b> It is the mission of Heritage Microfilm to be the
world&#39;s leading provider of historical newspaper content, focusing on
individual people and the events that impacted their lives...<br><br>A few questions for SERIALST colleagues:<br><br>1. Has anyone heard of this organization or their products? (I haven&#39;t, but perhaps I&#39;ve missed something.)<br>
<br>2. Has anyone purchased digitized backfiles of newspapers in general? I know ProQuest offers many such products. Any feedback on products of this nature?<br><br>3. Finally, does anyone know of any online newspaper image databases that are sold on a <b>one-time purchase</b> rather than a leased model? <br>
<br>Thanks so much,<br>-- <br>Andree Rathemacher<br>Associate Professor<br>Head, Acquisitions<br>University Libraries, University of Rhode Island<br>
