Function

Elephind is a search engine specifically for digitized versions of historical newspapers, allowing the user to freely search across various newspaper archive websites instead of visiting each individual site. When the user clicks on a search result, they are directed to the online archive where it can be accessed.[2] The collection is international, with newspapers from various countries included.[3]

As of July 2021, 3,600,000 newspapers were accessible on Elephind.[4] Many of the newspapers are on the deep web and cannot be accessed through other search engines such as Google.[5]

Optional registration allows users to bookmark and comment on newspapers.[6]

Elephind uses software from Veridian Software, which was spun out of Greenstone.[7]
