NEWSPAPER FILMING PROJECT
The Bridgeport Public Library is currently planning a long-term project
for microfilming Bridgeport newspapers. Microfilming these papers is the
best method of preserving Bridgeport publications and ensuring that they
will be available to researchers for many generations to come. If you own
any old Bridgeport newspapers and would be willing to lend those issues to
the BPL for use in its filming project, please read the list below to see
if your papers are needed for the project. Thank you for your interest!
