Cal Poly (San Luis Obispo) has recently announced the online availability of its student newspaper, The Mustang News. There are 7,138 issues available from 1916 to 2011 for searching and browsing.



​

From the University:​

"The library’s Special Collections and Archives folks decided to digitize Mustang News in honor of the 100-years celebration. Digital Archivist Zach Vowell, Digital Repository Coordinator Michele Wyngard and student assistants scanned all the microfilm copies. Collectively, they scanned 75,000 pages! Vowell and his team image-processed each issue and ran them through Optical Character Recognition (OCR), which allows users to execute the Search function within any issue.

Overall, the team digitized 7,138 issues, which comes to more than 75 million words!

If you’re interested in checking out previous editions of the Mustang News, go online to http://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/studentnewspaper/"
