Magazine Archives

I forgot this feeling. It's a pain in the *** to get page by page. It was fun when I was 23, but now I get tired so fast.

A little reminder, if you're interested in an extra free month of unlimited access to Vogue Italia Archive you can activate a new account with the same code and get access until March 5th.

Thank you @aracic

US (1867 to present) and UK (1930-2015) editions of Harper's Bazaar are available via ProQuest... The Harper's Bazaar Archive

You might be able to access it via local or institutional libraries.

Here in Melbourne, the State Library of Victoria has free access to general public with library membership. So good!

Mind sharing some Liz Tilberis gems with us if you ever get a chance? Unfortunately, none of the libraries across my country offer this service and I've been dying to find access to Bazaar archives since I first heard about it. It's such a shame they don't have an official website for single subscriptions like the Vogue archives.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but archive.org has many early issues of Bazaar

Wow thank you for sharing this! Sadly, there appears to be nothing past the year 1925.

Is it just happening to me that the Vogue archive website isn't working since yesterday?

Unfortunately, it still isn't back up for me. Somehow those internal server errors occur whenever I decide to do some sort of research. So annoying!

A little update on Magazine Archives we never appear to have mentioned.

The Harper's Bazaar Archive - the mysterious archive of the entire run of Harper's Bazaar, including both the American and British edition. Sounds like a dream, but is unfortunately only available through select libraries and universities across America. According to my research, you should be able to access the archive from home if you have access through your library card.
The Women's Wear Daily Archive and the GQ Archive are accessible the same way as Bazaar. If anyone has any ideas or tricks on how to access the Archives internationally, please share.

More Archives that are accessible online:
The Esquire Archive
The Vanity Fair Archive - appears to be down currently, along with Vogue.

There is also a very extensive list of smaller, miscellaneous archives for those of your interested in history of fashion, beauty and lifestyle magazines.

Those are all just a brief Google search away, but I thought it'd be useful to have them all in one place here.
I'd also like to mention Zinio Unlimited. Although it's not technically an archive, they have a nice selection of several fashion magazines in digital format starting from around 2008 to present.

Can we still use this code ?

Unfortunately no, it expired a long time ago.

is it the Playboy archive worthy to look for fashion campaigns? Don't know which brands appeared there.

I wonder if one day the page of Vogue Italia had the easy access than US Vogue & Vanity Fair.

I encountered an occasional Calvin Klein ad, but I don't think they were ever big on fashion advertisers.

thank you! Hope GQ will upload the full archive soon. Menswear's part has been always incomplete.

It already exists, you just need library or university access to the platform since it isn't public. Just like Harper's Bazaar.

Did anyone keep all of V Magazine and VMan issues while they were available on vfiles?

The Vogue (US) Archive is available on Google Arts & Culture. Photos only, not the magazine. Mostly from about 1940 to 1980, though.
