Welcome to the Archivist.
Welcome to The Oklahoman’s News Research Center’s weblog – “The Archivist.”
The News Research Center archives the pages of The Okahoman for history. The staff catalogs the text and photographs electronically to make them easily searchable and retrievable. They also provide research for reporters and editors and for the public on a fee basis.
My name is Mary Phillips and I am a news research specialist. I have worked for the News Research Center for more than 25 years. When I started, stories were cut out of the newspaper and filed in envelopes, and prints of photographs were filed in envelopes, too
Now, both stories and photographs are stored digitally, and The Oklahoman is available through our online archives back to 1900.
The Archivist hopes to be a gateway to the history that can be found in the files of The Oklahoman. I will be your principal guide as we revisit the stories that make up our history. Some will be big and some little, but we hope you will find them interesting.
The adventure starts now!
~Mary Phillips
