One service that we’ve mentioned (and continue to mention)Â regularly on ResourceShelf is NewspaperARCHIVE.com. In the past few months we’ve posted, on an almost weekly basis, links to subject-focused, full text, full image archives of newspaper pages available free to the general public. Very cool and very useful. Here are a few examples of what we’ve been posting. The digitization company currently digitizes about 2.5 million newspaper pages per month.
Today, we’ve learned that NewspaperARCHIVE.com is now offering free (to K-12 Schools and public libraries) access to a major portion of their database via IP authorization.
This free version of Access NewspaperARCHIVE will allow users to view, save, and print full-page newspapers dating from 1759 to 1977.
To participate, all that K-12 schools and libraries have to do is sign up. More information about the sign-up process is available at http://access.newspaperarchive.com. The complete press release is also available at this URL.
