Home Computers Will Soon Be Able To Access Ancient Information

Expected in the year 2006, people will be able to access historical information never available before from their own personal home or business computers. Old newspaper articles from 1836 - 1922 will soon be able to be retrieved and used. This convenience is definitely an improvement from the only way of accessing this information now which is to go to libraries or newspaper offices. This program will enable people to gain further information and knowledge of history that "was a necessity for government by the people." There are some limitations with this due to scanners having difficulty reading the older print types, but there is also a broader project with records from the 1600s in progress. http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/internet/11/17/oldnewspapers.ap/index.html
