American Periodicals Series Online 1740-1900 (APS Online) provides the full text of
articles, advertisements, illustrations, editiorial cartoons, obituaries, letters to the
editor, etc., from more than 1,100 American magazines and journals that began publication
between 1741, when Benjamin Franklin's General Magazine first appeared, and 1900.
Popular, special interest and general magazines; literary and professional journals;
children's and women's magazines; and many other historically significant periodicals are
included. Titles range from America's first scientific journal,
Medical Repository, to popular magazines like Vanity Fair and Ladies' Home Journal.
The articles are available as digitized images and therefore preserve the original
typography, graphics, and page layout. The database allows searching by author, title,
article type, publication title, date, and keywords in the full-text.
In addition, a Search for Periodicals function in APS Online leads to bibliographic
information and a summary of the historical significance of all the periodicals represented
in the database. Extensive primary source content in its original context and a history of
American magazine publishing are made available in APS Online.
