Time Machine
[The paper of one day of your choice, from 1830 to 1939]
Every day, A Century Late publishes the American newspapers of exactly one hundred years ago. Time Machine lets you order the paper of another day: a birthday, a wedding day, the day a family arrived, any day from 1830 to 1939.
The edition is built the same way as the daily paper: the original stories of that day, whole, the scanned pages under the magnifier and the source under every story. You can order it for yourself or as a gift. A printed copy comes free with it.
One edition $24. Five dates $89. A gift edition with a personal message $29.
[Working prices in US dollars, not final. Payment on a secure Stripe page.]
[Papers published more than 95 years ago are free to use. Each January 1, one more year is added.]
Time Machine opens after the launch of the paper. Leave your email and we will write to you when you can order.
[Sent through the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time.]
