I subscribe to Newspapers.com to read the Chicago Tribune but has anyone tried these archives?

I'm curious if this is a better route than reading an individual newspaper.

Not an answer to your question, but this does come up here from time-to-time.
Has anyone put together a collection of online archives - free and subscription-based - that would be of use and available to members here?
I recently ran across the UC-Riverside online collection of California-based newspapers (free) that is fantastic, including wire stories from other parts of the country:

I have run across and quickly lost similar collections of books.
Maybe a list that could be a sticky here or behind the members-only wall on the PRFA site?
