The critical months of May and June 1942 determined the outcome of the War against Japan in the Pacific. The outcome of the 2 great sea battles would determine whether the United States navy under the leadership of Frank J Fletcher. Chester W Nimitz and Raymond Spruance or the Japanese Navy under the leadership of Fitch. Isoruko Yamamoto Chuich Nagumo and Nobutake Kondoeady would prevail. The outcome would decide the outcome of the Pacific War the fate of Australia and New Zealand the islands and territories already occupied including Burma Hong Kong Korea Malaya Singapore Philipines New Guinea and Papua. The threat to Port Moresby was relieved by the outcome of the Battle of The Coral Sea. The conflict between the Japanese and the American Navies was in fact a battle between the respective aircraft carriers and their aircraft fought at distance and the first such naval encounter in naval history. The American force included heavy cruisers Minneapolis New Orleans Chester Portland Australia Hobart and Chicago light cruiser Astoria and destroyers Phelps Dewey Farragut Aylwin Monaghan Morris Anderson Hammann and Russell. The aircraft carriers included Saratoga Yorktown and Lexington. The oiler Neosho and escort destroyer Sims joined the battle later. There was no clear victor of the battle but the serious damage to Japanese vessels ended the threat to Australia and the islands of the South Pacific and was critical to the overwhelming victory by the US Navy at Midway.

To help preserve this newspaper the tissue we use is acid free but still the newspaper is vunerable and deserving of great care. Therefore no sunlight and not to be exposed to high temperatures. For centuries our priceless history has been preserved intact by libraries universities and colleges and museums.However progress demanded that we preserve our newspaper history by microfilming.This was done and the decades of history were simply dumped. Microfilmed editions it was discovered had a far far shorter life than the original and digital storage was decided was the perfect solution. Sadly the hardware and necessary software becomes quickly dated and keeping storage systems accessible requires vigilance and continued investment. The original vintage newspaper is endangered. We have briefly outlined the history of the vandalised newspaper because we are emphasising the importance of preserving this totally irreplaceable historical resource.There is no better place than in the security of individuals and families and the more newspapers and magazines find their way to such homes the less likely that progress will destroy what remains. And who knows the content might now or in the future attract collectors researchers or historians anxious to locate an only remaining copy.
