Ok, so maybe I missed a few lectures in college. Perhaps quite a few.

So we’ve been looking for mega deep web engines tied into non-US technical papers. And we hit a beauty. It ties into Italian, Russian, Indian, Finish, Chinese and all kinds of others. Here is a snapshot of the databases it backs into.
It can be found at
There are many ways to use the deep web. Both good, evil, and in between. The Google Hacking Diggity Project is all three.
In this case, a deep web tool-set was developed to aid penetration testers (white hat), hackers (black hat), and hobbyist (want a hat) to gather open source intelligence (OSInt) on potential targets to aid their hacking attempts.
The focus was to use Bing and Google to the max to dig out some kind-of-deep-web assets to the fore.

Almost everyone who is anyone knows about the massive video catalog of YouTube.
Wanting to educate your office on Deep Web stuff?
Found a nifty tutorial site called Deep Web University. It may be a bit of a stretch as it really is just beginner level stuff.
Stumbled upon an unlikely online book archive while looking for a rare history book. India, being an english speaking county, also has online archives.
Many projects require some research depth into events in the past. Newspapers are good sources for such research as they report on events-of-the-day and often include primary source material.
We’ve added these resources to the deep web search engines page
Deep Web Newspaper Archives Online
US newspaper coverage – ResearchGuides lists links to many newspapers
Library of Congress Newspaper Resource List – LOC does a great job getting the list together of wonderful newspaper archives.
NewspaperArchive.com – (commercial) – Known for a large collection. I haven’t used it, so I can’t confirm this.
xooxleanswers.com – Great list of newspaper archives from Xooxle. Good list and a funky name. Two thumbs up.
University of Penn Newspaper Archive – List of US newspaper archives and dates. Looked like a deeper list of Texas newspapers, so this effort may be a deep comprehensive list.
A good example of a useful deep web asset is historic aerial imagery

there are some tutorials on using USGS to obtain historic imagery for GIS or other purposes.
