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\u2019s 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
