Google announced today the inclu­sion of mag­a­zines in Google Book search, mak­ing it much much eas­ier (and in many cases pos­si­ble for the first time) to access mag­a­zine arti­cles at many major mag­a­zines going back decades. The ini­tia­tive aims

to help bring more mag­a­zine archives and cur­rent mag­a­zines online, part­ner­ing with pub­lish­ers to begin dig­i­tiz­ing mil­lions of arti­cles from titles as diverse as New York Mag­a­zine, Pop­u­lar Mechan­ics, and Ebony

This is won­der­ful news, and will go a long way toward help­ing the sur­vival of impor­tant cul­tural pro­duc­tions for the future.

    I won­der if they are doing any­thing to include defunct mag­a­zines in this data­base. I would imag­ine that’s where some real gems would turn up.
