a. Readers’ Guide Retrospective: 1890 – 1982
Readers’ Guide Retrospective [http://uclibs.org/PID/21386] was previously announced in CDLINFO last spring
<http://www.cdlib.org/news/cdlinfo/cdlinfo050902.html#2>. At that time, the database included files from 1963 to 1982. The database is now complete and includes files from 1890 to 1982.
Readers’ Guide Retrospective provides searchable access to more than 100 years of citations from 512 leading U.S. magazines — valuable reference for students, journalists, educators, historians, social scientists, writers, business researchers and others.
From the wreck of the Titanic to Neil Armstrong’s walk on the moon; from the Charleston craze to the Sharon Tate murders; from Pearl Harbor to the Bay of Pigs — Readers’ Guide Retrospective provides a record of an entire century of popular magazine coverage, and a reflection of America’s evolving attitudes and culture.
