If you’d rather read the articles on paper, you have two options. One is to contact our Landmark Stores before the remaining printed copies sell out (there are still a small number left as of this writing). The other is to print them yourself—about 100 pages if you print them all. The files are formatted for standard-sized printer paper, and you have our permission to print them for personal or classroom use (see this page for other permissions to re-use History Nebraska materials).
Of course, those of you who are History Nebraska members already received this issue in your mailbox when it came out.
