Washington: Internet giant Google Inc has planned to offer a new service which will give Internet users to search through the archives of printed articles in newspapers, magazines and other publications dating back to the 1700s.
The service is called Google News Archive Search and will direct users to both paid and free content on publishers' websites, but will not generate revenues for Google itself, The New York Times reported.
The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Time magazine, Guardian Unlimited, Factiva, Lexis-Nexis and HighBeam Research were some of the partners that Google was working with in the new service.
The New York Times report added that while Time magazine will provide free access to its archives dating back to its founding in 1923, The New York Times will offer searches back to 1981.
But by next year, The New York Times hopes to have digitised articles dating back to the 1850s.
