Newspaper Digitization

The United States Air Force is seeking a vendor to digitize approximately 9,640 surfaces from Eielson's weekly newspapers. The collection is fragile and requires careful handling by trained archival staff using specialized equipment. The vendor will be responsible for scanning and processing the collection, as well as providing a searchable digitized format. The project is expected to be completed within four months. • The collection includes newspapers from 1958 to the present, with varying page sizes and formats. • The newspapers are fragile and require touchless overhead scanning equipment to prevent damage. • The vendor must provide a finding aid with imaging notes and hard-drive file delivery. • The project requires careful handling and specialized equipment to preserve the delicate historical collection.
