Abstract

The digital press archives of the Spanish newspapers with the largest digital circulations ara analysed. Evaluative study based on 27 indicators divided into 4 main sections: general features, content, query system, and presentation of results. The analysis was conducted in 2010, and results obtained in 2007 are compared. The best and worst aspects of the digital press archives are pointed out, establishing a newspapers ranking: El mundo, Abc, El paí­s and La vanguardia occupy the top positions. The five major trends: extension of the temporary fund online, free archives versus payment archives, simplification (and depletion) of the query, filters in the presentation of results and documentary products in the archives are described.
