Description: We are a non-profit initiative dedicated to digitizing collections of classic media periodicals such as trade papers and fan magazines that belong in the public domain for full public access. The project is supported by owners of materials who loan them for scanning, and donors who contribute funds to cover the cost of scanning. We have currently scanned over 200,000 pages, and that number is growing. (Updates ongoing)
