They still had newspapers in the 90s. And some pictures you can only find on old newspaper micro film. So they're in black and white. Even color printed newspapers would catalog their back issues in black and white.

Why? It's not expensive to set one copy aside and keep 365 of them a year into some cold dry storage, right?

The archives aren't newspapers, they are pictures of the newspapers on film that's ment to be read from the film and not developed.
