We've re-launched the Boston Globe archives section to make it more reliable, more secure, easier to use, and with more options for purchasing articles. As part of the re-launch, we're also implementing a new archives registration system. This means that if you already have a user name and password for the Globe archives that you'll have to create a new one. It's a one-time process and it only takes a few minutes. Really.

We're excited about all these changes to the archives, and we believe the improved reliability and security will be a big improvement.
