Hence, I think the entire newspaper page is necessary as a minimum.

This context can be valuable to researchers. This is why we are encouraged to save full pages of the newspaper.http://genealogytrot.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05128072027060879102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-23642799226495620432016-03-03T07:54:59.742-07:002016-03-03T07:54:59.742-07:00Full newspaper pages are digitized and archived be...Full newspaper pages are digitized and archived because you don't know in advance what people might be looking for in historic newspapers. For instance, we have university students who may be studying the history of advertising and need to see what newspaper ads looked like decades ago. However, I assume that the purpose of the Memories section is to preserve the specific information relating to the memory, and not the entire page in which that article appeared.

I liked putting the full page in because it shows a little bit of context for the article or obituary...I hope there are no repercussions. ;)TurtleTypehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468611594276785948noreply@blogger.com
