New Archives Column in The Messenger
Karl McCreary, of OSU Archives fame, is the author of the new “Did You Know” column in the Winter 2009 issue of The Messenger. He says “Preserving evidence and knowledge of campus culture at OSU is one of the Archives’ most important missions and one that makes my job as Archivist here a continuous and enriching education in and of itself. So stay tuned for more stories about some of the more colorful items in the Archives and the fascinating history they document in upcoming issues of The Messenger!”

Here, here for context! Google has announced that they have begun a project to scan and provide access to magazines and journals– from the Official Google Blog (12/09/2008 09:47:00 AM): ” The word “magazine” is derived from the Arabic word “makhazin,” meaning storehouse. Since Daniel Defoe published the world’s first English magazine back in 1704, millions of magazines catering to nearly every imaginable taste have been created and consumed, passed from person to person in cafes, barber shops, libraries, and homes around the world. If you’re wondering what cars people drove in the eighties or what was in fashion thirty years ago, there’s a good chance that you’ll find that answer in a magazine. Yet few magazine archives are currently available online. Today, we’re announcing an initiative to help bring more magazine archives and current magazines online, partnering with publishers to begin digitizing millions of articles from titles as diverse as New York Magazine, Popular Mechanics, and Ebony.” And yes, you get the ads! |
