I just did a very quick search of the World Catalog, and by my count there are 141 libraries listed as having *some* paper issues (that could mean the full run but probably means just the latest issues), 6 saying they have it on microform and 7 having electronic access to it. Probably the latter 13 are part of the 141.

I would suspect that only the main Honolulu Public Library and the Newspaper's Office itself would archive paper copies of back issues.

Thanks for the info, Dajjal. My assumption would be that very few of these libraries have collections going back to 1961. That is the relevant point I was trying to make.

I very much doubt any library has paper copies going back to 1961; they'd be falling appart it they did.

Anything that old has to be on microform, and I have identified at least one mainland library, NYPL, that has the microform.

So if you know any birthers near the NYC area, you can tell them where to go.

My first search was too quick. The actual numbers on OCLC are: 79 hold some paper copies, 70 have electronic access to whatever is archived on the net (many probably within those 79), and 6 libaries have some issues on microform.

The six listed as having some microform are:

Univ. of Hawaii at Hilo
Univ. of Hawaii at Manoa
Calif. State Univ. at Fullerton
Calif. State Univ. at Northridge
Univ. of Central Oklahoma [huh?!]
Nat'l Library of Australia

Again, that does not mean that they all have the microform of 1961. The Univ. of Hawaii certainly would.

Anyone with good interlibrary loan privileges who is interested could have their local libary get a xerox or PDF of that page from Univ. of Hawaii.
