Google’s 200-year news archive

by

It’s not quite up to snuff yet, but Google News can now look back at news from the last 200 years. Most of it seems to hit a paywall, but that’s not Google’s fault. I’m of the opinion that old news should be in the public domain regardless, since it isn’t exactly a hot commodity anymore….but with enough time, Google’s aggregators will sniff out the free stuff anyway.
