Archive44.com is a fun little project I decided to do on the spur of the moment. It’s basically an archive of over 900 front pages of newspapers from all over the world on the day Barack Obama, the first black African American, became President of the United States of America. When you put over 900 front pages together you really get a sense of scale and importance this day was.

Hi Mike, collectively I’d say a couple of days so no real waste of time if it’s a flop

I like. When you have a couple of days spare can you add the newspaper name and country to the title tag – I want to know what Iran’s translated headlines were

Nice job. But when I read the description in the blog, I had to laugh:
“Barack Obama, the first black African American, became the President of the United States”
LOL What?! “the first black African American”?! I hope that was just a typo. XD
