A large collection of yellowing newsprint documenting Vietnam's war era is being archived for posterity, thanks to cooperative microfilming projects undertaken by Cornell University's Carl A. Kroch Library and other institutions. "What just jumps out at me is we have so many different titles from this era, and the fact that so many titles came out in this general time period," said Carole Atkinson, Asia Collections public services assistant, as she looked over a selection of newspapers from 1960s Saigon in the library's Severinghaus Asia Reading Room. "We have 13 out now [on the table], and we've filmed 70 titles already. Some are papers that no one else has."
