Pretty cool effort. I remember, when I was younger, that I'd enjoy looking through the old newspapers on microfilm at the Library.

Would be cool if they did even the smaller papers. I always wanted to research our family history fully but found I couldn't get local papers from abroad easily.

That's pretty neat. It I bet that it will make insomniacs a little less bored as well.

That's cool. It'll be another nice resource for those high school and college students for research papers.
