Subject: [TSL] Google bringing old newspapers online
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2008 07:44:43 -0400

Google just announced an initiative to make more old
newspapers accessible and searchable online by partnering
with newspaper publishers to digitize millions of pages of
news archives.

One of the papers they have partnered with is the Quebec
Chronicle-Telegraph, oldest newspaper in North America —
publishing for more than 244 years.

ProQuest & Heritage are also named as partners.
Imagine what this will mean for historians and
genealogists!
