Browse Newspapers in Google News Archive

You can now browse all the issues digitized by Google for newspapers like The Montreal Gazette, The Sydney Morning Herald, St. Petersburg Times, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and more. The digitized newspapers are searchable in the Google News Archive and they're also included in Google's regular search results.


"The News Archive Partner Program provides a way for Google and publishers and repositories to partner together and make historical newspaper archives discoverable online. As part of Google News, the News archive search function provides an easy way to search and explore historical archives. For articles already in digital format, we've worked with the hosts of these archives to crawl and index their materials. When materials aren't easily available in digital format, we have partnered with the copyright holder to scan and present the newspaper in a way that is full-text searchable, fast and easy to navigate," explains Google.

Google also digitizes books, magazines, photos and videos.

  14. Google had a change of ownership or something andstopped all progress back in 2012. Anybody who thinks otherwise is crapping themselves silly and look silly.

    Since about that time Google has dropped a lot of projects and focused more on hating America because Google is Kalifornia Liberal now where if you don't even breath feminist you will be penalized or deleted from the system.

  15. The stupidest projects they tried and dropped recently were the CO2 study on street view which is unrealistic to begin with because in order to tdo it you need it to be regularly updated not just once a year and data can already be found officially.

    Street view CO2 data was never meant to be taken seriously as it's not official and then after they abandoned it they tried methane gas leaks and now don't do that anymore.

    The most idiotic project of all is the Amazon/Google air drone delivery where Amazon was going to partner with Google to deliver your package by air using Google Maps and we all know how that works out.

    Imagine your package being dropped on the neighbors house because the address was off by just a little bit or you get somebody's package of illegal materials and they wonder why they aren't getting it thinking they got busted or something. When in reality the package got lost.

  16. BTW: You suck for making G+ only as a requirement. G+ is the new AOL and you look like a prat for using it.
