I know there are some websites out there where you can find some old webpages (even old HotTalk pages) but does Google or someone keep all the small town local pages? Many newspaper web sites have an archive section where you can search for old articles - and they usually charge a fee to view these older articles. Just because it's not printed doesn't mean it's not saved. I think newspapers have shot themselves in the foot by giving away their services for free. I read the Memphis Commercial Appeal every morning from my home here in Connecticut, keeping up with my hometown news - and it's all free. Why buy the paper when you can get much of the same information online for free? They've cannibalized their circulation by doing this, in my opinion.
