Moments of Permanence - More relics

Not to my knowledge, alas. That item was pulled from an 18th-century original bound archive, out of my university's Rares collection. Odds are it's also a hideously expensive object.

If you live near a decent university or state library and really want to look at old popular texts (which, why wouldn't you? They're awesome), it's quite possible they'll have microforms of at least some major papers. (More likely to be an American bias, though; in much the same way I doubt many American institutions have the extensive archives of the Canberra Times and the Sydney Morning Herald that UWA has, I expect they'll have excellent archives of American papers. But they might also have major international papers.)
