Google today bought 20 million historical newspaper pages from Paper of Record.

In September Google started a project to digitize old newspapers so that students, scholars and people could benefit form articles published ages back. And today Google has upped its commitment to bringing newspaper archives online.

These 20 million historical pages will be covering news from the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Europe.

This makes me ponder if the information available online is too less that Google is doing this. If relevant and authorized content is the worry, then what’s Knol all about?.

What do you think?
