Google expands their newspaper archive
Posted by Lauren Drablier on December 4, 2008 at 11:35 AM
In September Google announced plans start archiving historical newspapers and just this week they acquired Paper of Record's archives to get the project rolling.
ZD Net believes the project is important because "Newspapers are an excellent source of historical information, and thanks to the combined efforts of Google and Paper of Records, it will be unlocked for everyone to search and read. This shows how these companies perceive the importance of all kinds of information -- be it breaking news, or hundreds of years old."
