The New York Times Opens Its Archives

September 30, 2007 10:39 PM | 0 Comments

The New York Times has finally figured out that it's in their best interest to make their newspaper articles available to the public. As of a week or two ago, they're no longer charging a fee for their "premium" content. Now anyone can read columnists such as Paul Krugman online without having to subscribe.

They've opened up their archive, too. Jason Kottke put together a nice little list of some Gems from the archive of the New York Times, including a front-page report of the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 and a report on the confirmation of Einstein's theory of gravity in 1919. Enjoy!

I'm terribly sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the commenting system. I'm trying to track down the source of the problem and fix it. In the meantime, if you receive a "Comment Submission Error" due to an "invalid request," would you mind posting the comment on the contact form instead? Just include "The New York Times Opens Its Archives" in the subject field. Thanks for your patience.
