Google News Archives Goes Back to early 1900s

September 8th, 2008

Google just finished digitizing newspapers that date back to early 1900s, for their news archives search.

For example, here’s an article from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for the moon landing. Pretty cool eh?

So Globe & Mail’s archives search goes back to 2000, while Google’s goes back to early 1900s. And I think NY Times recently went back as far as 1800s? — or maybe early 1900s too. Globe and Fail!
