Magazine Collections

Welcome to the Magazine Collections of the Media History Digital Library. We have currently scanned over 700,000 pages and that number is quickly growing.

Our Extensive Runs — periodicals with digitized volumes spanning 5 years or more — are listed at the top. Our Select Holdings are listed below in alphabetical order. Click on the arrow next to a periodical to reveal the digitized years and volumes. You may choose to Read online, Download the PDF, or visit the Internet Archive page (IA Page), where you’ll find cataloging information and additional download options.

The Collections Gateway sidebar to the right will lead you to our Sub-Collections, groupings of material themed around the type of periodical or era.

We are currently developing an Advanced Search function that will allow you to perform customizable, aggregate searches across every page of text in our collections. In the meantime, you can read and search through individual volumes. Have fun browsing the stacks!
