Update 8/4/09: In
response to the overwhelming demand from schools, organisations and libraries,
Fairfax is going to continue to offer the SMH Archives to our customers
into the future. Furthermore, we have reduced the subscription prices and
simplified the product options.
The cost of subscriptions
has also been reviewed and the new simplified cost structure is as follows:

Year Subscription – up to 10 concurrent Users: $1,400 +GST
Subscription 2: 1

4/11/08: Google will
be hosting the SMH Archive to the public, free of charge, as of early next
year although a launch date is yet to be confirmed.
We expect that the archive will be uploaded to Google in a series of stages
and that the entire archive won't be available on the site until April
or May 2009. We're currently offering new and renewed subscriptions for
up to 6-months although this period and the corresponding rate will obviously
be reduced as we near April. Until then, pricing will be pro-rated
according to the 2008 pricing.
