Australia’s National Library has launched an archive of images and articles from Australian newspapers between 1803 and 1954.
The beta site currently features scanned pictures and text from 11 titles.
Content is easily navigable thanks to a panning tool and zoom controls, and can be searched by date, title, state or article keyword.
Also, in the past week the Library of Congress has expanded it’s web accessible “Chronicling America” newspaper database.
“Chronicling America Update: 73,000 newspaper pages added – now includes papers published 1890-1910 and 2 new states – Nebraska and Texas”
