Yomiuri Shimbun Online (YOL)Database Services
We offer a fee-based subscription service providing online access to The Yomiuri Shimbun archive, with about 250,000 new articles added each year. The Meiji, Taisho and Showa eras section contains high-quality scans of articles as originally published. The Heisei and Reiwa eras section provides articles in text and clipping views. Articles from January 2023 onward are linked to full-page images.
In addition to these core sections, Yomidas offers two optional features. The first is the Regional Sections (Showa Era), which adds 2.76 million pages of regional news from 1933 to 2001, covering local events, elections and stories of local figures. The second is the digitized "Senjiban Yomiuri" (Wartime edition), a special tabloid-sized newspaper published separately from The Yomiuri Shimbun for 13 months, from March 1944 to March 1945, offering a unique wartime record.This invaluable resource is particularly suited to universities, public libraries and government institutions.
