Old Newspapers Get Online Launch


Google is innovating once again in the technological world by transforming old written newspapers to digital ones and launching them on the Web. It is a long-drawn-out job since it required considerable studies and tests to make it works. This is to bring an ameliorated appearance to traditional newspapers and to make them available to a wide range of readers through time and space.

This ambitious project that Google is forming of digitalizing all the newspapers since 1764 can be considered as a history work insofar as newspapers reflect on the context of the specific periods in which they were written. Therefore, reading them will be equivalent of studying the interests, the lifestyles and the preoccupations of people at that time more than reading the news. Let’s say that there are quite no more frontiers between the present and the past and this is due to the advances in technology and Google and its new accomplishment is one of the many examples that illustrate this statement.
