News archive search provides an easy way to search and explore
historical archives. Users can search for events, people or ideas and
see how they have been described over time. In addition to searching
for the most relevant articles for their query, users can get a
historical overview of the results by browsing an automatically
created timeline. Search results include both content that is
accessible to all users and content that requires a fee. Articles
related to a single story within a given time period are grouped
together to allow users to see a broad perspective on the events.
- Search diverse sources from one place
- Browse timelines of events and stories related to specific queries
- Identify key time periods relevant to persons/events/ideas
- Discover a variety of viewpoints across time
News archive search aims to rank results such that the
articles/events that would be of interest to users exploring
history appear first. We take into account the full text of each
article, the publication in which the article appears, how often the
underlying event has been referred to or described, in what
manner and by whom.
Please let us know if you
have suggestions, questions or comments about News archive search. Our
goal with News archive search is to make it possible for users to read
about historical events as they happened. History is often presented
with a viewpoint of many years later and is frequently smoothed over
in many ways and for many reasons. Enabling users to read about
history as it unfolded allows them to explore and understand the past
for themselves.
