Everyone involved was so thrilled with the success of the project that we threw an international, virtual party to celebrate, with our team in Cambodia, and CCS in Germany and Romania. When the project is completed, eight million pages of historical newspapers will have been converted from dusty hard copies in storage to searchable and accessible articles online.

Our European Sales Team Representative Ed McLean gave some perspective on our historical newspapers projects: “Digitized papers once buried deep in paper archives reveal incredible things – this process opens them up to be discovered not just today but also in many years’, decades’ or centuries’ time. It is a window into how we used to live.”
