The Cooperative Africana Materials Project (CAMP) recently completed the
latest phase of its effort to preserve newspapers from Liberia. Michigan
State University contributed most of the newspapers. CAMP efforts have
resulted in a collection that is unique in North America and will now be
available to CAMP and members of the Center for Research Libraries (CRL).
The newspapers microfilmed by CAMP and listed below cover this turbulent
time in Liberia from a variety of perspectives:
