Ithacan

Access historical issues.

Visual elements in The Ithacan

Because of the process of microfilming The Ithacan, any color images were changed to grayscale image. In addition, the exposure was set to maximize the readability of the text, rather than capturing the images. Newspaper images are often grainy, but the images in the paper up through 2002 are much better in paper. If you need a better copy of an image, please contact the College Archives at archives@ithaca.edu.

Technical Notes

The paper copies of The Ithacan were microfilmed by Challenge Industries in Ithaca, NY. The microfilms were sent to the Digital Collection & Preservation Services unit of OCLC for scanning and further processing. The character recognition processes were created by Olive Software Inc. and implemented for us by OCLC. The version of The Ithacan at the University of Illinois Digital Newspaper Collections uses the data from Olive Software.

We are particularly appreciative of the encouragement and support of the use of cutting edge technology given by Margaret Johnson, College Librarian during the digitization process
