NewspaperARCHIVE.com Begins Summer Membership Drive

NewspaperARCHIVE.com, the world's largest digital newspaper archive, has begun its annual membership drive and launched a series of measures aimed at increasing members.

Cedar Rapids, IA (PRWEB) July 21, 2008 -- NewspaperARCHIVE.com, which contains more than 85 million digitized newspaper pages in searchable format, has introduced a series of measures aimed at promoting the value of a membership to prospective users.

A number of recent advertising partnerships, as well as teleseminars, newsletters, and other value ads to the NewspaperARCHIVE.com service form the basis of this drive. The digital archive website is also offering special pricing (for a limited time) for those interested in subscribing to the service.

"We are working to reduce the perception that our archives are mainly for history buffs and genealogists," said NewspaperARCHIVE.com director Chris Murders. "While these do make up a large portion of our members, the true value of our service can be realized by anyone. Learning more about your hometown, the people you know, the celebrities you've watched -- this is where NewspaperARCHIVE.com really shines."

NewspaperARCHIVE.com also will continue to introduce more value to its service. Upcoming releases include content-specific web pages, specific guides to using the search engine, a framing service for reproductions of newspaper pages, a gallery to assemble tagged newspaper pages, and more social functions.

"We have begun a number of efforts to show our users and interested parties what a great value and service our archives really are," informed Paul Stokstad, Marketing Director for NewspaperARCHIVE.com. "We are aiming to increase our user experience to a new level, ensuring our members a great and ever-growing experience on our website.

The summer membership drive begins July 18, 2008.
