CSMonitor Extends Free Archives Back to 1980

Posted on June 23, 2006

The Christian Science Monitor recently celebrated the 10-year anniversary of their website: csmonitor.com. As part of the 10-year celebration they are freeing up some newspaper archives back to 1980.

  • Free archive: All archive stories back to 1980 are, for the time being, completely free. Only content from the historical archive, stories published between 1908 and 1980, requires a small fee.
  • Better search: Your searches of csmonitor.com content should result in far more accurate and thorough results.
  • New story page design: We hope you find articles easier to read because the pages are less cluttered.
  • You can search the Monitor here with Google. It's a great idea and something other online newspapers should consider doing. As more advertising moves to the Internet one possibility is that newspapers will want to make more of their archives available for free online.
