Cold North Wind Blowing About Huge Newspaper Archive

Cold North Wind and the National Newspaper Association have agreed to create America's Chronicles, which will be an online search engine the accesses the digital archives of America's community newspapers. They'll start with the 3600 NNA member newspapers.

Cold North Wind anticipates that the project could eventually result in 500,000,000 pages of content that will in some cases go back to the 1600s (yow!). It'll be launched at the National Newspaper Association's annual convention September 12-15 (I don't think it'll be completely finished then; I think it'll just be launched.) It'll be available at http://www.americaschronicles.com. There's nothing there right now though you will be able to sign up to be notified when the project launches.
