For the remaining 75 towns there are several reasons why no newspapers were microfilmed by CNP, including:
- All existing newspapers are already preserved (7 towns): Bethlehem, Cromwell, New Fairfield, Newington, Sharon, Trumbull, Weston.
- Has no existing newspapers (30 towns): Andover, Barkhamsted, Beacon Falls, Bolton, Bozrah, Bridgewater, Canterbury, Chaplin, Colebrook, Columbia, Eastford, Ellington, Franklin, Hartland, Killingworth, Lebanon, Ledyard Lisbon, Middlebury, North Branford, North Stonington, Plymouth, Preston, Roxbury, Scotland, Somers, Union, Voluntown, Warren, Woodbridge.
- Existing newspapers are more recent and, it is hoped, will survive till another project can preserve them.
- Unfilmed newspapers cover a period already preserved by the existing film of a different newspaper from that town.
