The Media History Digital Library
<http://mediahistoryproject.org/broadcasting/> hosts 1.2 million pages of
scans of magazines and books on all media - motion pictures, television,
radio and recorded sound. Every page is searchable and downloadable for
free. Many of these materials were contributed by the Packard Campus of the
Library of Congress from their collections. We use the archive.org
infrastructure to host the files, but run our own website and search engine.

Titles include extended runs of Broadcasting (1931-1956), Sponsor
(1946-1964), Radio Broadcast (1922-1930, Radio Mirror (1934-1963), Radio
(and TV) Today (1935-1941), Talking Machine World (1906-1928), and a full
run of The Radio (and TV) Annual Year Book (1938-1964) and Variety Radio
Directory 1937-1941).
