Searching the Article-Segmented Newspapers

This site contains newspapers that have been “tagged” or “segmented” into articles or types of content, as well as newspapers that have not received this treatment (that is, newspapers for which the smallest unit available is a full page). For newspapers that have been segmented by article, human beings classified the articles by type (birth announcement, etc.). They also keyed-in the headlines.

From each newspaper’s home page, you can search for specific content within the article-segmented newspapers.
