Following a request from a student in HCA the Library now has trial access to ProQuest’s Women’s Magazine Archive, collection I and II<\/strong>. This unique database comprises archival runs of leading women\u2019s consumer magazines of the twentieth century.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can access the database via the E-resources trials<\/strong><\/a> page.

Trial access ends 16th November 2017.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Archival issues of consumer magazines\u00a0aimed at a female readership have previously been difficult to locate and navigate. So getting hold of these useful primary sources for 19th and 20th-century history and culture has been problematic for researchers.<\/p>\n

Women’s Magazine Archive I and II<\/strong> provide access to the archives of some of the foremost titles of this type. The magazines are all scanned from cover to cover in high-resolution color, ensuring that the original print artefacts are faithfully reproduced and that valuable non-article items, such as advertisements, are included.<\/p>\n
