The 'Gray Lady' opens her doors: free access to New York Times archives
History is at your fingertips. The New York Times, through their new TimesSelect service", has opened up their extensive archive. This is fantastic news! What's even better is that the Times is offering students, faculty, and staff of educational institutions free accounts complete with 100 article views per month. This is huge! And it's this easy:
- Register for an account
- Select one of two archives: 1851-1980 or 1981-Present
- Conduct a search
- View PDFs of articles
What a great day for scholars, historians, or anybody who wants an old article from the Times. It's not as earth-shattering as a lunar landing, but it's a huge announcement nonetheless. The start of a trend, perhaps?
