Search 60 Million Scanned Newspaper Pages

Posted: 24 Feb 2014 01:53 AM PST

Google abandoned its plans to digitise huge numbers of newspapers a couple of years ago. However, the results of its original efforts are still online, in the form of a searchable archive of 60 million pages from some of the world's best-known newspapers (and some little-known ones too). The scans go right back to the 1800s, and offer a fascinating glimpse into the past.

So if you're into history, or just curious to see whether anyone you know was mentioned in a newspaper in recent years, head to this site and be amazed at what the past can reveal.
