Over time, the Japan Times changed its official title a few times, so it can be hard to find a particular article from a particular date. Now that we have access to The Japan Times Archives, here’s a guide:
Current issues:
Today’s Japan Times and content from recent weeks can be found by anyone anywhere at the Japan Times website. (An individual without a subscription is limited to a few articles per month.)
Older issues:
For older content, Middlebury users now have access to the Japan Times Archives
The archive include articles published since its inception in 1897, including all of these variations:
- Japan Times (1897-1940)
- Japan Advertiser (1905-1940)
- Japan Times and Advertiser (1940-1942)
- Nippon Times (1943-1956)
- Japan Times (1956-present)
As of this writing, the Archives include content through December 31, 2015; 2016 content is expected in the near future.
