Examples of Print Periodicals at Andersen Library

Below are two print periodicals on the 1st floor of the Andersen Library, which will likely contain many photographs. You might want to browse through some of these to see the advertisements and other pictures from issues during the setting of your play.

The issues that you need will be in the "bound periodicals" area in most cases. The bound journals are organized alphabetically by title.

For periodicals in storage, ask at the Circulation Desk, and allow a day or two for retrieval. Microfilm and microfilm readers are on the 1st floor. You can ask at the Circulation Desk for assistance if needed.
