Yes Google announced that nwo they are busy in scanning old New papers. Google is making searchable, digital copies of old newspapers available online through partnerships with their publishers, the company said Monday. Google plans to make the text available, as well as original scans with all formatting intact, according to a company blog post. That means people familiar with typesetting and stylistic nuances of each time period will be able to infer additional information, as long as the scans are hi-res enough.


Google didn’t reveal which publishers are partners except the Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph and two organizations, ProQuest and Heritage Microfilm. However, examples of the service showed pages from The Evening Independent of St. Petersburg, Fla., the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times, The Tryon (N.C.) News, and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

The project expands on an earlier partnership to digitize content from The New York Times and The Washington Post, Google said.
