人总有一种怀旧的情绪,很多精典的东西可能一闪即逝.现在GOOGLE把老报纸上网这项计划拿出来了.不知道支持多少种中文版的报纸.
互联网搜索引擎巨头Google公司近日宣布，目前正加大力度，为旧报纸数据化项目做各项准备，经过扫描的原版旧报纸今后也可以在网络上找到了。
Favorite Google Inc has stepped up efforts to digitize dozens of historical newspapers and make scanned images of the original papers available online, the Internet search leader said recently.
总部位于硅谷的Google公司网站上的一篇博客中提到，目前Google正与各大报社合作，旨在使旧报纸进入网络搜索范畴。
In a blog post on the Silicon Valley-based company's website, Google said it is looking to make old newspapers searchable online.
Google公司产品经理普尼特-索尼在博客中写道：“今后你不仅可以在网上搜到这些老报纸，而且还能看到它们原始的印刷版的样子。”
"Not only will you be able to search these newspapers, you'll also be able to browse through them exactly as they were printed" Google product manager Punit Soni said in the blog post.
此外，这些网络版的老报纸还能让读者看到报纸当年是如何报道那些历史事件的。
The additional newspapers allow readers to see how newspapers of bygone days covered historical events.
比如，《匹兹堡邮政公报》1969年刊登的一篇关于尼尔－阿姆斯特朗（和埃德文－欧德林）在月球上行走的报道现在就可以在http://tinyurl.com/man-on-the-moon/上看到。
As an example, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's coverage of Neil Armstrong's (and Edwin Aldrin's) 1969 moon walk can be found at http://tinyurl.com/man-on-the-moon/.
Google公司发言人加布里埃尔－斯特里克说：“该项目的目标与Google图书索引没什么区别，都是将线下出版物上网。”
"The goal is no different than Google Book Search," company spokesman Gabriel Stricker said, "It is just getting a lot of published offline content online."
一位发言人称，首批参与报纸数字化合作项目的大多是美国和加拿大的报纸。
The initial newspaper partners for the digital archiving program are located in the United States and Canada, a spokesman said.
Google将收录多家报纸的档案内容，继续扩展旧报纸检索的“新闻档案”业务。Google此前与《纽约时报》和《华盛顿邮报》已经合作两年。
The effort involves the archives of many newspaper titles and expands on a two-year-old effort to work with The New York Times and Washington Post -- to index old papers in Google News Archive.
