Catalogue of Old Magazines

Containers:

Box 09, Folder 112

Scope and content:

This typescript contains a listing of "old magazines" by title and volume that were in the collection in 1933. It also includes some notes on their condition, such as whether they were bound and missing covers, pages, and volumes.

Language:

English

Processing information:

The catalog was previously dated to the 19th century, but has been dated to May 1933 based on the minutes as described in the historical note. The specific reference to a typescript in connection with the term "old magazines" in 1933 is difficult to ignore and the scattered notes on condition fit with the goal of appraising the magazines being pursued at that time. I also found it unlikely that the list was drawn up in 1912 as part of the catalog supplement for that year given the differences in arrangement, like the supplement separating bound and unbound volumes, and the differences in contents, like the absence of the Atheneum from the supplement.

Arrangement:

Alphabetical by title. Note that bound and unbound magazines are grouped together, rather than separated as in the 1912 supplement list.
