I wish the Providence Journal -once a great Rhode Island- could digitize its now on microfilm archives

I am very interested in the Providence Journal Archives as I grew up reading the paper in the Washington Park section of Providence, RI. Just by chance I notice here that our beloved family doctor , Ciro Scotti , involved in a $12,000 law suite over some pothole incident. I wish the Providence Journal - once a great Rhode Island newspaper - could digitize its now on- microfilm archives. Other papers have had no problem doing this.
