Yes, the NYT is terrific.
You may be able to get free access at a public library. Some even allow for
searching and retrieval from home. That's what I have.

talking about archives...
The NY Times has some great one, dating back
to 1851. They are still free until the 28th, after
you will pay a (rather decent) fee.
I haven't searched there for a while, but great testimonies
of the past (and the NY areas I lived in for a while)
I guess it is same for some other newspapers in US.
Enjoy !

Yes, I second Michael's caution about using the site only for
non-commerical
purposes.
BNF was one of the first organizations to go into digitization full time,
and there work should be respected.

And yes, I am happy to give away some secrets - especially when they are
really neat!

yes, you did give away one of your secrets...
But for the pleasure of some... :-)
I have been searching the BNF for quite some time, but always in French.
Stupid of me...
I just heard that they are going to put much more documents online
in the coming year, a partnership with an American firm.
Please, listers, do respect the non-commercial use of the documents
you download, or ask for permits !
or this would be another wasted source of knowledge...
Thanks again Mark, I will look more into the Philosophical
Transactions...

Not many people know about the BNF.
Guess I gave away one of my secrets :-)
Thanks for the nice words.

Thanks Mark !
I have been enjoying your links in the past year.
I didn't know the BNF had the Philosophical Transactions !
Btw, here are other archives, you might know already...

Thanks again !

Yes, it is one of the few places on the web that has all of the older
Philsophical Transactions.
