Old Magazine Articles
Old magazine article can provide a convenient alternative to hours spent straining
your eyes staring at microfilm. If you are serious
about your area of study, however, you will
find that most online sites do not provide unique
or comprehensive selections of articles. They
probably cover the same information that you
can get in any history book.
OldMagazineArticles.com, however, has a number
of specialty collections, compiled with the
goal of illuminating some of the most dramatic
events in our nation's history with a uniquely
humanist perspective. The WWI era is actually
the focus of many of our archives. You may want
to take a look at our cartoons from 1914-1919,
or our articles (and pictures) of U.S Army and
Navy uniforms from WWI. We also have an extensive
collection of articles about propaganda during
WWI.
Old Magazine Articles for Students and Teachers
You can find a number of old magazine articles
about prohibition, the sinking of the Titanic,
and early aviation in our selection. If your
interests are in music, sports, royal families
or silent movies, you'll also find archives
with old magazine articles, interviews, and
op-eds that you won't find elsewhere. Many writers
of both history and fiction have found the kind
of details that make their writing sparkle from
reading these articles.
While many of our archives focus on older magazine articles, several are timely in an uncanny way. Browse our Iraq category for insight into the war that is dividing our country today, though the specific articles are from the 1920s. Similarly, if you are troubled by political conflict over immigration, you may find some fresh perspective by reading about how the same issues were equally fraught in the 1910s and ‘20s.
