Google's Magazine Archive Expands with 40 Years of IDG Publications

Yesterday, we mentioned that 137 years of archived material from Popular Science was now available (free) online (via the PopSci) web site. The digitization and the technology to read and review the ads and articles comes from Google. In fact, a Google text ad is at the bottom of every scanned page.

Today, we learned that the Google Magazine Archive (via Google Books) has expanded with 40 years of digitized content available from IDG Publishing (Free).

With the project, readers can now access issues of CIO, CSO, InfoWorld and Network World dating back to the 1970s. The pages of the publications—including advertisements—have been scanned and digitized, and are available in a searchable archive on Google Books. Additionally, some microfilm issues of Computerworld have been posted and are available on the Google News Archive. “The real value of this project to IDG is in having the content of our enterprise IT publications—going back decades—preserved for all time and accessible to researchers and historians around the world,” Matt Smith, senior VP-COO of IDG Enterprise, said in a statement.

A bit more info in this media release from IDG.

Use the "Magazine" link on the Google Books home page to get to this material. You can also use the Advanced Interface and limit to only magazines and/or publisher.

A publication source field is not available and would be very useful. A news source field is available from Google News Search.
