The History of Paper World
|
 |
Paper World founder, Alan Waters, initially
expressed his passion for ephemera- curios,
periodicals and historic documents- by
collecting and trading old postcards.
While travelling in Europe in the mid-1980s, Alan came
across a company supplying original newspapers from any date
in the past. This business relied on the acquisition of
ex-library volumes, which werent required due to the
introduction of microfilm and digital storage methods. On his
return to Australia, Alan found libraries here were doing
likewise and began purchasing these unwanted volumes.
By 1995 these volumes, along with purchases from private
collectors, reached a quantity Alan judged sufficient to
commence trading. On the day he placed his first radio ad Alan
was a one man band, taking phone orders, restoring the
newspapers and dispatching them from his base at Melbourne's
Chapel Street Bazaar.
Thanks to Alan's foresight and business acumen, the public
can purchase newspapers from each Australian capital city -
newspapers that would have otherwise been lost forever. To
supply customers in each capital city, Paper World has a stock
of approximately 600,000 newspapers and magazines, all of
which are archived in a single North Melbourne warehouse.
Paper World has grown and expanded since Alan's retirement
in 2003 and is continuing his legacy of providing the highest
quality products and service in this unique business.
