Dr. Russell and Judith Eaton of Mount Joy, PA recently gifted a significant collection of the Freeman's Journal newspaper to the F&M College Library. The newspapers are contained in a single, period-bound volume and cover the years 1789-1792

The collection consists of 173 four-page issues, tax-related and New Year's broadsheets.

The volume was the personal copy of renowned 18th century printer Francis Bailey, containing ink annotations and corrections.
