Condition of the Collection

This online version of the Daily Progress was created from microfilm. In many cases, this microfilm is in very bad condition. Often the original newspapers themselves are in bad condition as well. This online version has been reviewed for scanning quality and we believe the digital images are as clear as they can be, given these constraints. The original microfilm can be requested from Ivy; microfilm readers/scanners are in Shannon Library.
