What content is included in News archive search?

News archive search searches across a large collection of historical archives including major newspapers/magazines, news archives and legal archives. Search results include both content that accessible to all users (such as BBC News, Time Magazine and Guardian) and content that requires a fee (such as Washington Post Archives, Newspaper Archive, and New York Times Archives).

How do I use News archive search?

From the Google News home page you can click on the link that says "News archive search" or you can go to http://news.google.com/archivesearch to use news archive search. In addition, for selected queries, results from News archive search will be integrated into Google Web Search as a separately marked group.


For the sealed off articles sometimes you can google the article's name or key phrases and find a free link or posting.
