| To prevent further deterioration the paper was deacidified to neutralize any harmful chemicals that were originally contained in the paper and those that accumulated over the years.
High resolution scans of the pages were made using large format flatbed scanner and the produced digital images were retouched to remove the appearance of discoloration, rips, tears and other damages. The missing text was copied from a microfiche of the newspaper obtained from the archive. Particular attention was given to matching the typeface and the appearance of the newspaper print.
