U.S. Newspaper Archives
The U.S. Newspaper Archives collection is from the www.NewspaperARCHIVE.com commercial website. It says it has 5,350 newspapers with 120 million page images.
I was curious to see if the 1880 United States Census data included a census page image, since several other sites do not (unless you have an Ancestry.com subscription). It does, but the system takes a really long time to search and load the page:
You can print or save the page to your computer files. There is a record transcription available for the person searched, and with another click, a full transcription that includes other persons in the household:
Note that the person searched for is not included in the listing of the persons in the household, and that the other persons in the household have only a name, birth year, age, birth place, and relationship to the head of household listed.
My hope is that FindMyPast.com will continue to add significant content for United States resources as time goes on. For a company that started up last summer, they have made excellent progress in adding U.S. content.
