Over three centuries of content covering the development of the U.S. through its most historically influential periods

These periodicals show how the significant events and major issues were presented and received by the people, providing a counterpoint to the major newspapers. As many of the periodicals were aimed at particular audiences, alternative views and arguments can be found on the same topics, and go into greater depth than the newspapers.
Many of the events and issues covered in these periodicals were influential in the course of America’s development, and using this archive can help researchers analyse the effect they had on the culture, values, and national identity.
