Q:
|
When I log in to the Reading Eagle Archives, do I need a fast connection?
|
|
A:
|
No, but a fast connection is recommended. A dialup connection through a modem is a much slower connection speed then that of Cable modem access or DSL and is not optimal for viewing the Archives. The main difference between the faster connection speeds and dialup will be the time it takes for the archive data to load into the browser window.

Q:
|
What
is the difference between searching the Reading Eagle Archives verses searching the microfilm at the local library or college?
|
| A:
|
Searching through microfilm can be a long and tedious job. Sometimes you can find exactly what you were looking for; sometimes not. Reading Eagle Archives contain archived pages, articles, pictures and ads, saving them in the original newspaper format. Because the archived newspaper pages are digitized you can then search across one specific edition, multiple editions or the entire archived repository using keyword searches,
making it vastly more practical when looking for information.

Q:
|
Why don’t you have Reading Eagle newspapers older than October 1989 online and accessible and do plan on doing this sometime?
|
|
A:
|
Mostly all of the requests we have received about Reading Eagle Archive access have been about finding stories and articles that appeared in our newspaper over the last 10+ years.
Eventually we would like to digitize all of the printed editions of the
Reading Eagle back to 1868, but it will take several years to accomplish.
