According to a news article from thelandcle.org , the Cleveland Public Library has accepted custody of 250,000 news stories on 16mm film, magnetic tape video, reel-to-reel audio, and glass phono-discs from the Northeast Ohio Broadcast Archives. The collection includes news spanning from the post–World War II era through the late 1980s. Until 2023, John Carroll University served as the custodian for these records. Kudos to CPL for its initiative to digitize these historic materials!
