Proquest archival newspapers - self hosting?

[Marshall Breeding]

Stacy,

Does the license in which ProQuest provides you the tiff images of the newspapers require that access be limited to your specific campus community? Will it include OCR text, citations, or other metadata?  How many images and records are involved?

Knowing a few more details might be helpful to the list to help assess options for or feasibility of a self-hosting platform.

Proquest is now providing us with files of the archival newspapers we purchased from them.  They say that there are no libraries that are self-hosting access to this data, and predicted that the cost of creating a platform to search the metadata and deliver the TIFFs would be costly.

I've attached their metadata sample file.  Does anyone have suggestions on the software we could use to provide access to this material?  We'd prefer an open-source solution.  The reason we are not paying the platform fees for this material is because they got very little use. We can't justify spending funds on a proprietary software solution for this, because the material is not in great demand at our library.
