For lovers of the Indian Subcontinent, the archives of The Hindu provide a virtual treasure trove of news, opinion, investigative journalism, and ephemera. The archive is divided into Web content, which dates back to 2009, and Print content, which dates to January of 2000. From the landing page, readers may select a month and then a day. From there, they may scout the relevant articles. On January 1, 2000, for instance, the headlines included an article about Boris Yeltsin's resignation, and his appointment of a then little-known former KGB operative, Vladimir Putin, as his replacement. Meanwhile, the September 14, 2012 issue included four articles on horse racing, a strike against rising diesel prices in Kerala, and a recipe for Kachumber salad.
