One hundred and four years of the now defunct Ripon Record editions are coming to life in a digital format.Thanks to the Ripon Historical Society and its president John Mangelos, all the past editions were resurrected from the attic of the newspaper office and digitized using available microfilm copies dating back to 1912. They will soon be available for public inspection. Mangelos said the funds for the $10,000 restoration of the paper came from numerous private and business donations in $5, $10, $25 amounts and larger corporate donations.
