Google To Digitise World’s Press For Online Browsing
Google’s been pretty busy recently, launching its Chrome browser at the start of the month and following up with news that it’s currently working on a project to digitise the world’s newspapers so that they can be browsed online.
The massive undertaking has actually been underway for a couple of years already as in 2006 Google began archiving issues of the New York Times and Washington Post.
The idea is that you’ll be able to browse the papers in their original format complete with photos, crosswords adverts and all.
“We’re launching an initiative to make more old newspapers accessible and searchable online by partnering with newspaper publishers to digitize millions of pages of news archives,” says the internet giant.
The content will be available via its news archive service and will run alongside existing digitised material from relevant publications where possible. The database is being built as we speak, though there’s no details on exactly when it’ll be finished. We imagine there will be some late nights ahead. - Paul Lester
