Many, many hours can be spent browsing these...

Wow. This is so neglected it still has the old google logo on it. It is a good resource but that level of neglect makes me wonder how long it will last.

It might have lasted this long because of neglect. If someone starts working on it, a bean counter might notice and axe it altogether.

This would be great to have as a downloadable data set.

some of these are being mislabeled.

for example: https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=3yMDF_cvnR8C&dat=1908...

the article is from 1980, not 1908.

How about the Baltimore Afro-American https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=JkxM1axsR-IC

Google says the paper is from 1794, but it is actually from 1974. This is understandable because the paper itself has the same mistake on the first page.

Is there a way to get pdfs of those in high quality?
