Back in 1991, the Digital Library and Archives (DLA) at Virginia Tech began to provide online access to local, regional, and international newspapers. It was an early digital library project, and it continues to provide access to a range of periodicals and transcripts of television news reports for local television stations in and around southwestern Virginia. On the site, visitors will find sections titled "Virginia Tech News," "Virginia News," and "International News." Visitors can make their way through publications such as the Virginia Tech Spectrum, the Roanoke Times, and international newspapers like Le Monde. The dates available differ for each publication, and visitors can use these materials for local history projects or studies in the transformation of various print and online media.
