There used to exist Google News Archive Search, and it really worked. I was able to search for the name of an obscure person who died in 1910, find obituaries of them and create a Wikipedia article about them, etc. Then in 2011 it was shut down, and also the number of newspapers hasn't grown, it has actually become smaller.[1][2] It's claimed to be back in some form, but those who used to use it earlier aren't really satisfied.[3] [1]: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/05/google-shuts-down-newspaper-archive-project/239239/ https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/05/googl...
