Humanities: Periodicals

Primary Sources: Periodicals

A periodical is anything such as a journal, a newspaper, or a magazine that is published on an ongoing basis. Periodicals are excellent sources to consult when undertaking research into the way historical figures and events were represented to particular segments of the reading public. They also open a way for you to access voices marginalized by later historiography. These particular online resources concentrate on periodical literature published in English from the eighteenth to the twentieth century.
