Read All About It

Wired reports that "a company called ProQuest has digitized every back issue of the Times, from cover to cover. Every news article, editorial, photograph, cartoon and advertisement is included, and using a fully searchable file, readers can see articles as they originally appeared in print."

"The Times is the first paper to be fully digitized in ProQuest's Historical Newspapers Project, which will electronically convert complete back runs of leading newspapers, including The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and The Christian Science Monitor." The service will be available to libraries and other paid subscribers.

And the archives will be available...for a price!

(scratch my earlier snide comments about the digitization of public libraries please)

Public libraries (and schools) may be the only way that even middle-class members of the community get access to some of this data.

I bet it's scanned in as monster pdf files or something equally horrid.
