After checking and saving�reams of�microfilm and yards of newspaper for 5 years, Google has made the decision to shelve its newspaper archiving project.�The Google News Archive�invited newspapers to transmit along back issues, and scanned and indexed them to ensure that they may be looked on the internet.�
However in a contact yesterday, Google told the Boston Phoenix, among the project�participants,�that it might abandoning the�archive of two,000 guides.�Instead, it'll focus its attention on other projects such as the Google One�Pass, something that can help marketers to market content using their websites.��
To date,�Google has submitted and indexed 60 million pages of news, spanning yesteryear 250 years, the Phoenix reported Thursday. Also, the search giant apparently used Google Maps technology to decipher the funky fonts of old newspapers.
Because the Technologizer notes,�the news archive is type of cumbersome, and�quite difficult to find among Google's tabs, so�a�lack of audiences might be one reason the organization made the decision to abandon the traditional archive exercise.
For those who have yet to go to the website, and�were�wondering what�was making headlines�200 years back today, don't be concerned the�existing archives will stay up and turn into searchable.��
