This is great. Historical newspapers are one of the largest corpora of information that has yet to be adequately brought on line.

In the U.S. the Library of Congress has digitized a fair number, but at the state and local level it's really hit or miss. Some states such as California and New York have put quite a bit on line, but many others rely on individual towns and historical societies.

Different pay services cover various papers, but there has never been concerted effort to digitize the staggering amount of microfilm that is out there.
