One has to know how to search by date in Google. If you set that date to BEFORE 2020 you’ll find all kinds of interesting stuff.

Usually I'm quick on the uptake, but can't figure out how to date-set on Google search. Can you clue me in? Many thanks.

After you do a search, a menu bar appears below the search box. If you click on "Tools" at the right, the date range options appear.

Once you do a search look under the search box on the results page for “Anytime” drop down. There you can change the parameters to a custom range.

To get search results before a given date, add “before:YYYY-MM-DD” to your search query. For example, searching “the best donuts in Boston before:2008-01-01” will yield content from 2007 and earlier. To get results after a given date, add “after:YYYY-MM-DD” at the end of your search
