Description
Now you can obtain archive-quality reproductions of almost any front page published by The Spokesman-Review and its predecessor publications (including the Spokane Daily Chronicle, Spokane Falls Review and The Spokesman).
Custom-printed reproductions of Spokane’s daily newspapers make an ideal gift to mark birthdays, corporate anniversaries and other important dates. Pages commemorating significant events in history make outstanding educational displays for dens, office and classrooms.
Unlike many other front-page reprint programs, these pages are reproduced directly from original newspapers, not from microfilm. Our state-of-the-art technology assures the highest quality reproduction of photos and text.
HOW TO FIND THE PAGE YOU NEED
The Spokesman-Review partnered with Google News Archives to digitize our entire library of microfilm, which makes it searchable on the internet. You can go to http://news.google.com/archivesearch and search for Spokesman or Chronicle articles and photos. Click the advanced archive search link. The search screen is fairly self explanatory – enter whatever you are searching for in the gray “find results” fields, enter the date range and enter “spokesman-review” in the source field (so you only view Spokesman-Review pages). If you want to search the Chronicle, enter “spokane daily chronicle”. Leave the other fields empty.
It can be a little tricky trying to find something, but you can also search specific dates without any key words and then use the cursor (white hand) to move from page-to-page on the dates you think the article would have appeared. This method takes a little bit longer to find what you need, but this has worked successfully when the key words didn’t.
Once you identify what you want, all we need is the date and page number, plus some identifying information about the articles or photos you are interested in. When we receive your request, we pull the archival book from our archives. (We have 128 years of newspapers that were bound into hard back volumes for historical purposes.) We then carefully slice the binding of the requested book, pulling the appropriate page and scan it. Pages are then digitally restored from these original, archival copies, not from microfilm.
HOW ARE THE PAGES REPRODUCED?
After your page is restored, it can be printed on acid-free archival paper at 100% size (21.5-inches high; width varies from 11-inches to 18-inches, depending on publication date), or the image is reduced to print on 13" x 19" glossy photo paper. The amount of reduction depends on the original publication date. Older publications are much wider, so more reduction is necessary, but rest assured that the images are still sharp and readable.
Archival paper prints are available for $59.95 per page. Photo glossy prints are available for $39.95 per page.
Both reproduction sizes are suitable for framing.
HOW IS MY PAGE DELIVERED?
Once your page is restored, it can either be shipped to you, or you may pick it up at our downtown office and save shipping costs. If shipped, normal shipping costs will apply.
Please allow a minimum of 5 working days to process.
THE FINE PRINT:
Some dates may not be available, due to damage to the original papers; other dates may not be available because early editions of the papers were published weekly or biweekly, instead of daily, so we may not be able to match a specific birthday or anniversary date for those years. Please remember, when ordering papers related to historic dates that the story usually appeared the day after the event. You can arrange to see the page in which you are interested before you buy.
RETURN POLICY:
Because of the personalized nature of this product, The Spokesman-Review only accepts returns if your page is misprinted or damaged in shipping.
