NewspaperARCHIVE Expands Offerings With Today's History Free
NewspaperARCHIVE, the world's largest online historic newspaper archive, is now offering all newspaper pages from the current day for free to all visitors.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa (PRWEB) June 30, 2009 -- NewspaperARCHIVE, the world's largest online newspaper archive, has opened millions of historic pages to the world. Expanding upon their earlier announcement that every front page in the NewspaperARCHIVE database would be available at no cost, NewspaperARCHIVE has added all pages dated as the current day in history available at no cost. Each day, that date's newspaper pages will be available to search, browse, view and use, all without a subscription.
"The amount of history available each day is staggering," said Dave Stoddard, Web Marketing Manager for NewspaperARCHIVE. "By making these pages available to anyone with an Internet connection, we are putting millions of individuals in touch with the past."
The NewspaperARCHIVE search engine allows visitors to limit searches to today's history, delivering relevant results on any topic immediately. Each day, hundreds of thousands of pages will be available at no cost to searchers.
"While our whole database is fascinating, discovering what happened in history today gives a deeper meaning to what is happening in the world right now," said Stephen Carr, writer of NewspaperARCHIVE's "Today In History" newsletter. "You can step outside, see the day, and imagine that this is what it was like when people heard that mankind had reached the moon."
Besides major historical events, the NewspaperARCHIVE newspapers contain obituaries, birth notices, marriage notices, crime logs, advertisements, puzzles, comics, local sports scores, and much more, all displayed as they were published.
The new release will not affect NewspaperARCHIVE Premium Members. Dedicated genealogists, researchers, and anyone who would benefit from the depth of information available in the complete archive will still find the incredible value and great quality content they are accustomed to. Premium Membership allows members an unlimited number of page views for every newspaper page in the entire NewspaperARCHIVE collection, allowing access to the entire archive of historical newspapers.
Each day's history can be explored at http://www.newspaperarchive.com.
The NewspaperARCHIVE newspapers cover history from 1759 to 2009, and span all 50 U.S. states as well as several countries throughout the world. They cover the past of 861 cities and towns and the lives of those who lived in them.
