Google News Archive Search

Google has a new mechanism that lets you search both historical and contemporary newspapers. The search feature sorts your search results into a timeline, so you can access articles from the 1990s or the 1890s from one screen. We've only just started playing around with this tool, but it's already knocking our socks off. Check out Google News Archive Search. This is a very interesting new tool.

But it doesn't make the library irrelevant! To get the full text, you'll often be asked to pay a per-view charge. The library has access to many historical newspapers electronically or on microfilm, and if not, we can always get you articles via interlibrary loan. Never pay for information without checking with the library first. Questions? Call us at x2225.
