The Compact Disc subseries, 1911-1929 (3.6 cubic ft.), contains digital images of newspaper clippings from the 1911 to 1929 portion of the Numbered Volumes Arranged by Date subsubseries of the Original Volumes subseries. The 1930 to 1951 clippings were never scanned. The clarity of the digital images makes them easier to read than the microfilm version, but usability is more difficult as the exact volume and page number are needed to locate an article. In addition, the scanner did not capture the newspaper name or date.

3.6 cubic ft., 199 v., and 52 microfilm reels.
