List of online newspaper archives
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of free and pay wall blocked digital online newspaper archives. Most were scanned from microfilm and stored in gif or similar format until converted to text with OCR. The OCR in most cases is used to create the index of searchable text, but some newspapers don't allow access to the OCR-converted text until it has been proof-read. Older newspapers are still in image format, and newer newspaper are available as full text that can be cut and pasted. Most text is in ASCII, some are using Unicode for diacritical marks not available in ASCII. Google now indexes many newspaper archives.
