Public Library Director Bill Caddell examines copies of the Maryland Gazette from 1776 in Frankfort, Ind., on Wednesday. The library came to be in position of the bound book of news pages when it was donated as part of a larger collection, and hopes to someday preserve and perhaps digitize the work. The Frankfort Library and other libraries and museums in small towns across the country are treasure troves of historical documents, ranging from mundane marriage records to rare artifacts and artwork.(AP Photo/AJ Mast) AJ Mast
