Today, we're launching an initiative to make more old newspapers accessible and searchable online by partnering with newspaper publishers to digitize millions of pages of news archives... Not only will you be able to search these newspapers, you'll also be able to browse through them exactly as they were printed -- photographs, headlines [news.google.com], articles [news.google.com], advertisements [news.google.com] and all. Official Google Blog [googleblog.blogspot.com]

I like it a lot - in fact it's been something I've wished for quite often.
