UK: TimesOnline opens digital archive in beta
Posted by Jean Yves Chainon on May 12, 2008 at 8:51 AM
TimesOnline launched a beta version of its digital archive, opening up over two hundred years of newspaper content online.
It seems more and more newspapers are opening online archives, in an effort to draw traffic (guardian.co.uk has been trying a paid-for model since last November).
The archive features content from The Times, Sunday Times and TimesOnline published since 1785.
The beta version will be expanded and officially launched in the next couple of months.
TimesOnline is using technology from search company Fast. The archive will initially be free to access, but eventually a subscription model could emerge.
