The Crimson has launched a new website and is making all 128 years of the newspaper’s content available in a searchable, online archive.
Forty to 50 years of articles will be accessible on the webpage today, and by the end of the year all of The Crimson’s volumes will be online both in searchable text form as well as via whole images of every printed page.
“This is the most exciting project that The Crimson has taken on since installing presses. It is an example of the ultimate use of the Internet,” said President C. Matthew MacInnis ’02, who noted that no other college newspapers are close to putting all of their content on the web.
Full Crimson text will be searchable by author, as well as subject and date.
