How To Work with Google Archive News
In my last posting I wrote about the date error on The Argus Press newspaper collection in Google News Archive list .
I then noticed that there are options on the web page which I think readers of this blog would be interested to know about.
In this posting I will discuss the following three options:
1. Browse this newspaper
2. Browse all newspapers
3. Show
- When you first go on to Google News Archive list you get this page.
Google Page
You can then pick a newspaper to go to, such as Argus Press.
- When you click on it then you get this page.
Pick Newspaper
This shows you the collection available to view.
Remember these are the years they say they have available, but the dates might be wrong so go into the “odd” years to make sure they are what Google says they are. “Odd” years will be obvious because they don’t fall within the main collection.
Odd years
- When you pick a newspaper to go to, such as this Jul 1, 1972 issue of The Argus Press.
Argus Newspaper
You can then pick a page from that particular issue and notice also up on top two (2) options: Browse this newspaper and Browse all newspapers.
To view the particular page just move your mouse around a page until some line highlights and click on it. This will bring that page up to the screen and then you can page through this issue.
- If you want to see more issues of the same newspaper click on Browse this newspaper and you will get this page.
Browse this newspaper
Notice that you get the collection starting with the one you were just at.
- If you go back and pick the Browse all newspapers
arrow to Browse all
you will get this page.
Google main list
Which is the original full list of newspapers. Notice it is the Google News Archive list not the Enhanced News Archive List with Locations or USA Only List of Newspapers.
- Now let us go back to the page we got when we clicked on Browse this newspaper and you will notice on the top left an option which says Show which has a drop down menu.
Show Box
This allows you to show what list you want to see from this collect; Day, Week, Month, Decade. See the example pages below.
Day
Week
Month
Year
Decade
-The different options allow you to narrow your search of a particular date in time, and if they have that issue you can select it. You will notice that they may not have what you want and even if they say they do be sure to check the date.
Day
- I hope this gives you a better understanding of how to use the Google News Archive list collection and of course this is also how the Enhanced News Archive List with Locations and USA Only List of Newspapers work.
Remember that the Enhanced News Archive List with Locations and USA Only List of Newspapers tables are my creation and are only used to view the publication location, you will not be taken back to them once you are in the Google News Archive list collections.
Thank You.
I love working with newspaper archives. Thank you for the post.

Heya are using WordPress for your blog platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and create my own. Do you need any html coding knowledge to make your own blog? Any help would be really appreciated!
No you don’t.
Thans for stopping by.

Thank you Asa for stopping by my blog. I write my own stuff and I am glad to hear that you like it. I just finished sending a message in an answer to your exact question so I will tell you the same thing:
The great thing about using the web to get your message out is that you can link to other sites without having to write on the other people’s site or have them write on yours. This is not like the magazines or newspapers of the past where guest writing was the only way to get someone else’s ideas onto your rag. Here you can write about someone else’s work on your own site and refer the readers right back to the original. I just read a good piece on another blog and wrote up a story about it with links to the original. There was no need for me to be a guest on the person’s site or that person coming to my site to tell us his story.
Good Luck.
Take Care.
