Google News Archive Search is a new service that’s getting a lot of press. I even saw it mentioned on CNN yesterday.

The good news: You can search historical archives dating back to the 1700s, and view those results in a very user-friendly timeline format. The bad news: Most of the really interesting (i.e. pre-1900) results seem to be coming from just four major sources: Washington Post, Time, U.S. Supreme Court records, and NewspaperArchive.com. In most cases, you need to pay a fee to view the article.
