Free Online Archives Containing 137 Years of Popular Science Magazine


The entire archives (137 years) of Popular Science is now accessible, searchable, and free via the PopSci web site. Here’s the official announcement.



You’ll see that the technology and scanning comes with the assistance of Google. In fact, you’ll notice a Google ad at the bottom of each scanned page.


The Pop Science Archives intro page points out that “advanced features and browsing” are in the works because they are needed. For example, to be able to limit your search to a specific year or range of years would be very helpful.


Nevertheless, it’s more useful (interesting, too!) and free content available to all.
