It is on the Google newspaper list. There is over 100 years of editions, not all date are there but most of them are. Sometimes if a date is missing you can find it at the end of the day before's edition. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=ZuSUVyMx-TgC. This link takes you right to the Reading Eagle, since that is the only one I use, I set my favorites to go right to the Eagle. Google is no longer adding new materials, so if an edition is missing, it will always be missing. One tip when you hit the plus button to enlarge it you need to double click it or you get garbage.
