Wanted: Old Magazines

Whereabouts are you? WW for 1962 is likely to still be in some public libraries in the UK (or rather in their dungeon store room).

E & RE you might need to visit an older university library and talk nicely to the librarian. Your local library should be able to tell you where the nearest location with a physical copy is.

Yes, I am in the UK. In the past my local library has only been able to help with getting copies of specific articles in magazines and not able to lend a copy complete but I will try again.

Cheers

They tend to be held in the reference section so you can read them at a library and photocopy parts but not take them away.

I live in a small town with a small library with a very small reference section so I don't expect they'll have them. Does that mean I actually have to go to a big library that has them or can I get my local library tp borrow a copy for me to look at/copy in the library?

Magazines don't survive transport too well. Old ones tend to be well worn so I doubt you could get an interlibrary loan or an out of county loan. You might get a photocopy of a few pages though if you ask.

But even if the library has no physical copies of journals it might have an internet subscription to JSTOR or an equivalent service. Ancient and prehistoric articles are often free or nominal charge.

Ask your librarian - they are not (all) dragons.

Interesting, thanks.

In the past I have gone to the library at Imperial College - which used to be the Science Museum Library.
