New York Times Offers Article Archives from 1851-1995

The New York Times is now offering a complete article archive from September 1851 to December 1995. That's more than fifteen million articles. You can start your search at http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/nytimes/advancedsearch.html .

Searching is free. You can search the full text, author, or headline. You can also specify a date range or include advertisements and other listings in your search. A 1991 search for the word Internet found 10 results (John Markoff was really ahead of his time!) Search listings include the title, date, and author of the article, while icons allow you to see a sample portion of the article or purchase the article.

Yes, you can purchase individual articles. Click on the dollar sign icon and you'll see that an individual article costs $2.99, or you can buy article "packs," and pay considerably less. (A 25-article "pack" costs the equivalent of $1.05; you have 180 days to access the 25 articles.)
