Newspaper \'Archive\' Run by Scottish Gent.

If anyone ever doubted Malcolm Forbes\' maxim
\"retirement kills more people than hard work ever
did\", they should meet...71-year-old [John Druce].
Since officially retiring, he has run Historic
Newspapers for the past 15 years in Newton Stewart,
Dumfries and Galloway, which he claims is now the
world\'s largest archive newspaper business and the
largest archive of English language newspapers
outside of the British Museum.

Read the full story.

A little research found a photo of John Druce [.pdf] who won a \"Britsh Small Business Champion\" award in 2002.

See also, the Historic Newspaper\'s website which is largely tailored to selling clipping from old newspapers. Hmmm...
