Contains over 1000 periodicals and chronicles the development of America across 150 years. The journals in this collection cover three broad periods: journals published between 1740 and 1800 offer insights into America's transition from a British colony to an independent nation; the first 60 years of the 19th century became the golden age of American periodicals, with general interest magazines, children's publications, and journals for women; periodicals published during the Civil War (1861-1865) and Reconstruction (1865-1877) eras reflect the nation in turmoil and growth, and titles from the 1880s through 1900 capture the settling of the West and the emergence of modern America.
