NEWScan is a pretty neat way to look at the front pages of major newspapers from around the world. You can somewhat customize the page to have only the front pages you want (from a designated list). And if you really want to delve into the paper, there’s a link at the top right-hand corner of every newspaper for you to download the PDF to your computer.
I guess this is the digital equivalent of laying out newspapers on your table and soaking it all in. [via]

The National Library of Australia has launched a beta page of historic Australian newspapers from 1803 to 1954 that you can view in full for free. The site is similar to The New York Times’ TimeMachine archive except of course that all of the newspapers here are from Australia. At the moment, there are 26 newspapers in digital form covering the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia.
It’s a good resource to bookmark if you’re doing any sort of historical study on Australia or if you just want to see what newspapers looked like in the old days.

Want to know what the front pages of newspapers look like around the world today (hint: Obama-rama in full effect)? Well, then head over to the Newseum’s archive of daily newspaper front pages where you’ll see 684 different ways that newspapers have decided to call victory for Obama.
