When I heard of this I was shocked. Most of us are. I've infact studied with the university that attempted tu burn the newspapers. The plans have been stalled for now, but some permanent solution has to be found.

The collection of international stuff isn't that unique. Although intact collections are increasingly rare. There is I understand at least something of a market for old newspapers so unless the place has serious access issues burning would be an odd choice.
