The New York Times Machine

 With your BC New York Times account, you can access the "TimesMachine", a searchable archive of the NYT! You can search by keyword terms or by date.

Search tips

  • Remove extraneous words
    • "and" "in" "the" typically are not necessary
  • Check your spelling
  • Use quotation marks wisely
    • place your terms in quotes to find that exact phrasing
    • while this does narrow down your results, you may be eliminating other phrasings
  • Use synonyms
    • if your first results don't seem right, try rephrasing your search
