The ''New York Times Index'' is a printed reference work published since 1913 by ''The New York Times'' newspaper. It is intended to serve as a reference for accessing stories printed the previous year in the newspaper. It was created by publisher Adolph Simon Ochs, who wanted to compete with the ''New York Sun'' by offering a series of special features. The index, he believed, would be attractive to librarians and other researchers by making reliable source material widely available to the public. The index was the only one published by an American newspaper through at least the 1930s, and helped make the ''Times'' known to libraries and students nationwide as a primary source for research. Initially published quarterly, it was released in annual editions starting in 1930. In recent years, volumes of the index have been designated to cover specific months or weeks. After the success of the index was well established, the Times began publishing the ''New York Times Obituaries Index'' and released indexes covering editions of the ''Times'' published before 1913. In 2009, the ''Times'' began releasing metadata associated with the index to programmers and the general public. == References == * ("Annual Times index available to public" ), ''The New York Times''.
