How is it that you can read obituaries daily

‎07-02-2014 12:10 PM

in the newspapers yet when you want to review an old obit it's not possible without paying for it?

Newspapers have archives. If you know the paper and know the date I don't see why it can't be viewed.

Who pays for maintaining the archives? I don't even know what costs are involved, but you can be sure there are costs someone has to pay.

I thought you were going to say ""...and still spend time here?""

That's something I think about now and then.
