"To a large part of the American people, Harper's for many years has been English literature; an it has been so very successful that we may well consider it an index to the literary and general character of the nation."

Founded in June 1850, the goal of Harper's Magazine was to present the broad panorama of contemporary English literature in periodical form. Eventually, it came to cover all areas of national interest; 77,151 citations online.

"I have found the 19th Century Masterfile to be an invaluable tool for research on the nineteenth century. With its combination of indexes and its searchability, NCM is indeed a fabulous resource for historical research."

Atlantic Monthly Index (1857-1901)

" 'Atlantic Monthly' may be said to have enjoyed a perpetual state of literary grace, so that for a large section of the American public, whatever the Atlantic printed was literature. Moreover, the student of American magazines since 1857, whatever his predilections, is forced to agree that throughout its career it has maintained a higher literary standard than its contemporaries."

Founded in 1857, with the counsel of Emerson, Longfellow, and numerous other luminaries of American letters, the index to Atlantic Monthly broadens and deepens research possibilities of this explosive period of American life and culture; 24,108 citations online.

North American Review Index (1815-1877)

NAR began in 1815 as a bimonthly under the direction of the Anthology Club of Boston. It alternated between being a monthly and a quarterly publication until it finished publication in 1840. There was always a connection between the Review with Harvard College, including editors such as Jared Sparks and Edward Everett whose presence gave a high visibility to the Review, especially among scholarly readers; 14,881 citations online.

Cumulative Index to Library Journal (1876-1897)

This cumulative index covers the first 22 volumes, and is fascinating "cyclopedia of library administration." This first quarter century of LJ is replete with names familiar to today's librarians-Bowker, Poole, Wilson, Dewey, Carnegie, to name a few. This Index is a treasure trove of information for any researcher delving into the formative years of modern librarianship and bibliography; 6,566 citations online.
