''The New York Times'' archives its articles in [[The New York Times Archival Library|a basement annex]] beneath its building known as "the morgue", a venture started by managing editor [[Carr Van Anda]] in 1907. The morgue comprises news clippings, a pictures library, and the ''Times''{{'}}s book and periodicals library. As of 2014, it is the largest library of any media company, dating back to 1851.{{Sfn|Allen|2014}} In November 2018, ''The New York Times'' partnered with [[Google]] to digitize the Archival Library.{{Sfn|Vincent|2018}} Additionally, ''The New York Times'' has maintained a virtual microfilm reader known as TimesMachine since 2014. The service launched with archives from 1851 to 1980; in 2016, TimesMachine expanded to include archives from 1981 to 2002. The ''Times'' built a pipeline to take in [[TIFF]] images, article metadata in [[XML]] and an [[INI file]] of [[Cartesian geometry]] describing the boundaries of the page, and convert it into a [[PNG]] of image tiles and [[JSON]] containing the information in the XML and INI files. The image tiles are generated using [[GDAL]] and displayed using [[Leaflet (software)|Leaflet]], using data from a [[content delivery network]]. The ''Times'' ran [[optical character recognition]] on the articles using [[Tesseract (software)|Tesseract]] and [[n-gram|shingled]] and [[Approximate string matching|fuzzy string matched]] the result.{{Sfn|Cotler|Sandhaus|2016}}
