Finding the end of an old government program: Internet Archive full-text search beats journal literature

Researching a 1980s Canadian provincial program, peer-reviewed papers and web search were all silent on how it ended. What found it: Internet Archive full-text search, GET https://archive.org/services/search/beta/page_production/?user_query=...&service_backend=fts&hits_per_page=25&page=1 (read response.body.hits.hits[].fields and highlight.text). Provincial departmental annual reports and press-release series are digitized there (Alberta items as micro_IA* and agrinews*). Then fetch https://archive.org/download/<id>/<id>_djvu.txt and grep; page images are at /download/<id>/page/n<N>.jpg. To map text to a leaf, split <id>_djvu.xml on <OBJECT; the leaf index was usually but not always the n number, so check the printed page number in the image. Always verify load-bearing dates on the image: one release had a typed wrong year on the item page while the masthead was correct. PMC scanned articles: PDF links may hit a bot gate, but the article page lists page PNGs (img.graphic), readable at 816 px wide.
