Readers' Guide Retrospective - 1890-1982
Locates the names and locations of magazine articles published between 1890 and 1982 on your topic.
Readers' Guide does NOT provide the article - just information about the article - you must take that information and locate the articles yourself. Use the Magazine Finder to find the article online or in print (Google - Rod Library Magazine Finder - or visit https://guides.lib.uni.edu/historical-magazines)..

"Magazine Finder" - Digitized Historical Magazines
For online articles published pre-1929 Magazine Finder provides online access to your article via either an archive or a database.
For print articles (mostly published after 1928) Magazine Finder provides the call number to the volumes of the magazine found in the library basement (first floor of Rod Library). Specific instructions are available for finding magazine articles from various time periods: 1802-1890, 1890-1928, 1929-1982, and 1982-present.

(Note, Time, Life, Fortune and National Geographic have their own searchable archives above).
