Combing through the New York Times archive
Fresh off The New York Times ending its TimesSelect product, Jason Kottke has compiled an awesome list of gems from the newly opened New York Times archive. Among them:
- The first mention of the World Wide Web in the Times in February 1993.
- Early report of Lincoln’s assassination…”The President Still Alive at Last Accounts”.
- The first mention of television (as a concept) in the Times, from February 1907.
