Hi Alex, There sure is. I had spent a lot of research time a few years ago looking through the Dumfries and Galloway newspaper indexes that are in print. When I saw Vanessa's email about the digitization, I used the archive to look again for my family. I found two marriage and death notices that were missed from the books. You also get enough details in the search results to get a good idea what the article is about. I paid to view the articles since I live in Canada and I felt it was worth it. I hope they continue and digitize more years. It is a wonderful resource particularly for people who live far away.
