Bremerton Patriot's historical archives to appear online
Sep 08 2008
The entire historic archive of the Bremerton Patriot will be made freely available online.
Google unveiled a new project today with the aim of bringing historical newspaper content to the Web.
Sound Publishing, Bremerton Patriot's parent company, is among the many companies participating in the project, which will allow users to view digitally scanned versions of historical newspapers.
"We're very excited to bring the entire history of the Bremerton Patriot to the Web," said Sound Publishing President Manfred Tempelmayr. "Projects of this scale are extremely time and resource intensive and we're thrilled to partner with Google to make this available to our readers."
The "initiative," as it was described on The Official Google Blog, will appear as a function within Google's News Archive feature.
No date has been announced for when Bremerton Patriot's historical archives will appear.
