The Times Machine
Last time I visited the NYTimes archive it had a clunky interface with links to PDFs of the articles/pages. It has now changed and they have a slick interface that allows you to browse electronically through the pages and read the intro of each article without viewing a PDF (you can choose to go through to the full article).
TimesMachine can take you back to any issue from Volume 1, Number 1 of The New-York Daily Times, on September 18, 1851, through The New York Times of December 30, 1922. Choose a date in history and flip electronically through the pages, displayed with their original look and feel.

Why doesn't the article explain that you have to actually subscribe to The New York Times Paper, or pay some fee, so obtain the cool information you are referring to?
