Heritage Microfilm has announced a partnership with the military news source Stars and Stripes which has led to an online digital archive for the Stars and Stripes newspaper. The new archive is available at http://starsandstripes.newspaperarchive.com.
At the moment, the archive has European and Pacific editions from 1948 to 1999. (Apparently at some points the Stars and Stripes has had almost three dozen different editions.) This is over one million pages of content. There are also plans to add more content, including the World War II era, Middle East edition, and additional date options for the European and Pacific editions.
Alas, the site is a paid archive. While you can initiate a keyword search with a really basic date range option (you can narrow your results by year) you can’t even see the list of results without a membership. Memberships range from yearly ($47.40) to a day pass for $4.95.
