Wright newspapers to be digitized, preserved

June 2, 2015

Excerpt

Before they invented the airplane — before they even ran a business fixing bicycles — the Wright brothers wrote and published newspapers, of all things.

As printers between 1889 and 1899, the brothers followed and wrote about local events for at least four Dayton newspapers, among various other printing jobs.

Now, Dayton Metro Library and Wright State University Libraries Special Collections and Archives are digitizing what they believe is a complete run of all Wright-published papers so anyone can easily read them on the internet.
