History

Why read someone else's interpretation of history when you can read the actual history itself?  Fogelson Library has a very extensive collection of bound periodicals.  There are countless titles (because we have not taken the time to count them).  The various magazines, journals, reviews and reports stretch from the present back to 1852!   Here is a sample of the holdings.

Advertising Age  --  1964-1995
American Cinematographer  --  1962 to 2009
American Ecclesiastical Review  --  1889 to 1975
Art News  --  1946 to 2009
Consumer Reports  --  1948 to 2009    (The review of new cars in 1953 is quite entertaining!)
Film Quarterly  --  1959 to 2009
Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction --  1981 to 2002
Journal of Economic Entomology  --  1943- 1988 
Life  --  pretty much the complete publication, from 1937 to 1994
Littell's Living Age  (the 19th-century interpretation of Reader's Digest)   --  1852 to 1877
Millimeter  --  1978 to 2009
Poetry  --  1913 to 2006
Shakespeare Quarterly  --  1950 to 1986

Vanity Fair -- complete from 1913 to 2009
Variety  --  from 1989

A reprinted copy of the first issue of Time is in the display case on the main floor.  Come by and take a look at some of our oldest journals in the display case.  Then, when you have time, stroll through the magazine stacks downstairs.  It's an education in itself!

OK, I couldn't stand it, so I took the time to count the titles.  (It took more than an hour.)  There are 830 titles of the journals & magazines of which we have at least one year's issues.
