On November 2018, The New York Times teams up with Google Cloud to digitize an extensive collection of photographs dating back to as early as the late 19th century. This event will uncover some never-before-seen-documents, equip Times journalists with an easily accessible historical reference source.
Morgue - The Underground Hstorical News
Prior to the digitization, millions of photographs, along with tens of millions of historical news clippings, microfilm records and other archival materials, existed only in a physical archive three levels below ground near The Times headquarters in New York City called "The New York Times Archival Library," also known as the "morgue." Though The Times officially began clipping and saving articles in the 1870s, they were not formally codified into a library until 1907.
