- mncharity 2y agoI years ago went looking for day-by-day scanned newspapers to link to. The 1800's and much of 1900's were rich with candidates (Library of Congress and Google Books), the 1700's were disappearing as collections were privatized and paywalled, and the 1600's and 2000's were sparse. So a bump rather than exponential. "To fully see 9th Ave, activate your Meta VR Comcast NYC account".
