1971 New York Times World Trade Center newspaper insert
Hey guys. I wasn't sure if I should find a general WTC thread to post this in, so if you feel it should be moved then that is a-ok.
Last summer the forum's very own DarrylStrawberry sent this to me. No reason in particular, but just because he's a super nice guy! Anyway, I've been meaning to take it somewhere to get it professionally scanned because it is deteriorating, but I haven't done that yet. In the meantime here are all 16 pages of the insert. I took the pictures with my old point and shoot camera, so they are pretty crummy, but I wanted to share it with you guys. Maybe some of you even remember running across it all those years ago. So here you are, courtesy of Darryl!
Awesome! Thanks for posting.
If you really want to get it scanned I'd suggest that you go out and get some high quality blotter paper, and a bottle spray mister.
Place a sheet of that wrinkled/folded news print on the blotter, spray it lightly with some water (deionized/filtered if possible),
cover with another sheet of blotter, and stack up as many books/weights as you can- and leave until dry.
you should end up with nice flat images that will give you a much better/cleaner scan
"The tallest buildings in the world"
It must have been very exciting times back then. New York was entering unchartered territory.
Now? Not so much...
So cool! Ive never seen close-ups of that model before.
I really do! Before I try any of what you suggested I'll get in contact with you. I don't want to ruin it! This is one of those things that I have never seen online - I'm sure someone out there has a copy in perfect condition in the bottom of some drawer, but I can't believe I haven't stumbled across it online in my "travels" as it were.Originally Posted by scumonkey

My thoughts as well.
That's so great. There's probably a way to get it preserved professionaly after you scan also.

I remember the company I used to work for making deliveries to Fiduciary. Thought they'd gone out of business but they're still around.
