New database: American Periodicals Series Online

On-campus and remote access has been provided on the A-Z list of databases and the U.S History resource page to American Periodicals Series Online. It uses the ProQuest interface.

APS Online includes digitized images of the pages of American magazines and journals published from colonial days to the dawn of the 20th century. Titles range from Benjamin Franklin's General Magazine and America's first scientific journal, Medical Repository; popular magazines such as Vanity Fair and Ladies' Home Journal; regional and niche publications; and groundbreaking journals like The Dial, Puck, and McClure's.

The sample search page available at the bottom of the info page will give you an idea how this database can be utilized.

Journals contained within this resource will now show up in Find Periodicals and "Search for Full-text" links.
