I wonder if they will eventually unfold the newspapers to see the contents. I realize they will probably rip from the process but it it would still be invaluable knowledge.
Undoubtedly other copies of these issues have been digitized and are easily available on-line or in library databases. All one would need is the name and date of the newspaper to find the information.
The whole presentation would have benefited from having a historian there to explain the items and put them into cultural context.
