VRC clippings
The Virtual Resource Centre Clippings archive offers and array of media clippings from local newspapers, magazines, advertisements and online sources. This "media collage" allows users access via the web to sources that may not be known outside of the region in which they are published. Therefore, local print media can be disseminated around the globe, giving a larger voice to sources that are often diminshed in the global sphere.
