Extra! Extra! Updates from our growing newspaper archives
Monday, August 3, 2009
Posted by Ryan Sands, Google News Online Team
Last September on this blog,
we announced
a new initiative to digitize newspapers and make them accessible and searchable online.
We've recently updated our index, quadrupling the number of articles included in News Archive Search. We now include articles from several new publications, including the
Halifax Gazette
,
Sydney Morning Herald
, the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
, and the
Village Voice
. Working with our partners, we've also added new international publications such as the
Manila Standard
,
The Nation
from Thailand, and many others.
Looking for a place to start exploring this rich historical index? How about the complete
June 2, 1753 edition
of the Halifax Gazette, one of the oldest newspapers we've digitized to date.
News Archive Search is an ongoing effort, and we're continuing to work with publishers to add new materials. You can explore this historical treasure trove by searching on
News Archive Search
or by using the timeline feature after searching on
Google News
.
