If you are studying the history of film, broadcasting, theatre or the music industry, you will want to take a look at the Entertainment Industry Magazine Archive. This is an online archive of 50 entertainment magazines, from their first issues up to 2000.
Titles covered include:
Variety
Billboard
Broadcasting
The Stage
Picturegoer
American Film
The magazines have been scanned from originals, so you can see front covers, images and headlines, often in full colour. If you are interested in advertisements, you can search for these as well.
You can find the Entertainment Industry Magazine Archive on the A-Z list of Online Resources.
