This LibGuide is a working document with digitized copies of the Youngtown Edition. Upon its lanuch, this archive contains searchable PDF files of the first five years of the Youngtown Edition, the County College of Morris student newspaper. The Youngtown Edition Digital Archives project has been coordinated by Tatiana Atehortua, County College of Morris student and library assistant. This collection is given to the County College of Morris on October 18, 2023 in honor of their 55th anniversary and in celebration of 55 years of Youngtown Edition publication.
Each tab above has the volumes of the Youngtown Edition published during the fall and spring semesters from the Fall 1968 through Spring 1973.
We are grateful to Don Phelps of Campus Life for loaning us the papers missing in the library collection and to Dean Shelley Kurland for technical advice and equipment.
Additional scans of the Youngtown Edition, through Spring 2016, are available in the CCM Library Archives.
