List of free and pay digital online newspaper archives. Most were scanned from microfilm and stored in a gif format until converted to text with OCR. The OCR in most cases is used to create the index of searchable text, but most newspapers don't allow access to the OCR converted text until it is proofread. Older newspapers are still in image format, and newer newspaper dates are available as full text that can be cut and pasted. Most text is in ascii, some are using unicode for diacritical marks not available in ascii.
