News Archive Search allows users to research newspaper and magazine articles from sources including The Guardian, Time, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Factiva and Lexis Nexis.

"In addition to searching for the most relevant articles for their query, users can get an historical overview of the results by browsing an automatically created timeline.
