[KS] North Korean newspapers during Korean War

[Ruediger Frank]

Dear Mr. Paprocki,
I think the library of Humboldt University (Berlin) has such a collection of RS and MJ, at least from the year 1954 onwards (which I have used). It might make sense to contact them and ask about the older issues (info at ub.hu-berlin.de). 
Good luck,
Rudiger Frank

Dear list members,

Does anybody know if there is any other source of DPRKorean newspapers (Rodong Sinmun, Minju Choson, or any other) from the time of Korean War, than Seoul's National Library? Internet online maybe?

I have tried to find those in the Seoul's North Korea Information Centre, but they only have it microfilmed, and the microfilms are completely illegible, blurry and the titles of articles are sometimes extremely hard to read. I have been told that any other way to read the originals does not exist... Anybody in the know of any alternative source? Or maybe some of those were somehow found and published (not much hope but worth asking)?
