Do most newspapers have free archives?

Answer by  mediamaven (579)

The archives for most newspapers are free up to a certain time frame which depends upon the publication. Most archives are free for the last thirty to ninety days. Afterwards, you will pay a "sliding scale" fee to search - ex. $3.00 (one day), $7.00 (two days), etc.

The era of free is going away. Try a larger or smaller newspaper in the area and it might have a free link but sometimes requires a subscription. Or try the library.
