The staff and volunteers at the US Modernist Library have scanned over 3 million pages of 20th century architecture magazines. We need your help completing the digital archive, one of the largest in the world. We provide free shipping and you’ll have the certainty this valuable content will be preserved, in keyword-searchable form, online.
Among others issues, we are particularly looking for:
- Progressive Architecture May 1946
- Residential Architect: all of 1997, Jan 1998, Nov 2003, July 2009
- Architecture Plus: all of 1975 (til it folded)
- AIA Journal/Architecture/Architect: Sep 1947, all of 1950-56, Jan and April 1957, Nov 1958, May and October 1959, Aug 1961, Nov 1977, Nov 1979, April 1980, and April 2008
