State Library of Queensland
The State Library of Queensland's microfilming program includes both current and retrospective newspapers. Preservation masters are stored offsite in the purpose built cold store at Queensland State Archives. In the 2004/5 financial year, ten retrospective titles (347 reels) and 44 current titles (459 reels)—a total of 53 titles (806 reels) were filmed. The State Library of Queensland annually surveys its collection of newspapers on the unstable cellulose acetate and replaces all of the highest priority film. The State Library of Queensland maintains an interest in developments in newspaper digitisation, recognising that many regional libraries are requesting digital access.
