The recent shooting at Virginia Tech has inspired me to collect historic newspapers. My teacher, also, collects historic newspapers [laminates, then puts it on her wall] and I'm going to start too with the shooting. She has the original newspapers from historic days, such as Pearl Harbor being bombed by Japanese, Germany surrendering during both WWI & II, Kennedy's assassination, atomic bombs being dropped, John Lennon being shot, September 11, Columbia, etc.
I think I'm going to buy newspapers from history from eBay.
