Archive Scanning Partnership With Google News
In 2008 the Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph joined the Google News microfilm scanning project to make its newspaper archives more accessible via Google's free news archive search service.
Publisher Pierre Little stated that:
This effort will open up a new world of possibilities for today's Internet users. You can search for everything from news of loved ones of past generations to news of major historical eventsand that:
... many readers visit the newspaper’s Web site to look for obituaries and conduct research on their ancestors. We could envision that thousands of families would be attracted to our archives to search for people who came over to the New World. ... We hope that will be a financial windfall for us.Read more about this topic: Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph
