California Newspaper Project - read all about it! __ Learn a bit of the early history of newspaper printing in California.  They say it best:  "If journalism is the first draft of history, as the saying goes, then neglecting California's long and robust newspapering tradition - by allowing many of its 10,000-odd papers to go unaccounted for and perishable back editions to mold and crumble - would be a devastating loss for future historians and generations. That's the driving idea behind the California Newspaper Project (CNP), a long-running effort to track down, catalogue, and in many cases preserve and make readily accessible thousands of California papers that have rolled off the presses since the state's beginnings." - From berkeley.edu - http://berkeley.edu/news/berkeleyan/2007/01/17_newspapers.shtml
