Popular Periodicals Pre-1970's
Popular Periodicals: by Title by Decade by Subject
Popular periodicals are the magazines you'd find on the rack at the grocery store. Unlike scholarly journals which contain in-depth research into specialized fields of knowledge, the articles in popular periodicals may be as entertaining as they are informative. As primary sources, these publications are especially useful for historical research. Articles, advertisements, illustrations, photographs, design, and language all capture the flavor of a time period.
The publications in this list are available in two formats: microform (microfilm and microfiche) and paper. The physical location of each title will vary throughout the library. For help locating titles, do a Journal Title search in the library's online catalog, or ask for assistance at the Reference Desk.
