Google News Archive

Posted by: asclibrarian on: March 11, 2009

Google News Archive search provides an easy way to search and explore historical archives. Users can search for events, people or ideas and see how they have been described over time. In addition to searching for the most relevant articles for their query, users can also see a historical overview of the results by browsing an automatically generated timeline.

News Archive Search searches across a large collection of historical archives including major newspapers/magazines, news archives and legal archives. Search results include both content that accessible to all users (such as BBC News, Time Magazine and Guardian) and content that requires a fee (such as Washington Post Archives, Newspaper Archive, and New York Times Archives). In addition to crawling content online, Google has also worked with newspapers to digitize materials via a News Archive Partner Program. Through partnerships with newspapers around the world, the News Archive Partner Program makes unique and previously-unavailable newspaper content searchable and browsable online.

  • Stephen King’s Glass ­Menagerie
    When an enormous transparent dome settles over a small town in Maine in Stephen King’s new novel, it’s just fine with Big Jim, the local tyrant-in-waiting, and his pet goon squad.
  • The Critic’s Critic
    A valuable new biography of Samuel Johnson, the most eminent of all literary critics.
  • Barbara Kingsolver’s Artists and Idols
    This novel, about a boy’s consequential bonds with Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo and Leon Trotsky, is a call to conscience and connection.
  • Animal Planet
    Amy Gerstler’s poems — skillful in every kind of comedy, yet deeply serious — show a fondness for animals without sentimentalizing them.
  • Happy Days
    An argument that can-do optimism has hardened into a suffocating force that bears little relation to genuine happiness.
