The Nation Digital Archive 1865-2002 The Nation, America's oldest weekly magazine, has created a searchable digital archive encompassing 135+ years of reporting, opinion, and criticism. The archive is an unmatched assemblage of words and images from the most thought-provoking writers, activists and artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries - from the Civil War up to the Millennium. The archive is accessible, on a subscription basis, via the World Wide Web. Users can view high-resolution images of the original magazine pages - nearly 200,000 in all. In addition, the full text is searchable by word or phrase. This compendium of primary source material includes every article, editorial, review, poem, and puzzle including the original illustrations and advertisements published since Volume I, Number 1 on July 6, 1865. No other digital archive can match its scope and content. This important collection will be indispensable to anyone interested in the history of politics, culture, books, and the arts -- in America and around the world. Victor Navasky is Publisher and Editorial Director of The Nation. He is the author of Kennedy Justice (Atheneum, 1977) and Naming Names (Viking, 1980), which won an American Book Award, and is co-author with Christopher Cerf of The Experts Speak: The Definitive Compendium of Authoritative Misinformation, now in its second edition. Navasky has also served as a Guggenheim Fellow, a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation and Ferris Visiting Professor of Journalism at Princeton. He has taught at a number of colleges and universities and has contributed articles and reviews to numerous magazines and journals of opinion. He is a graduate of Yale Law School (1959) and Swarthmore College (1954). In addition to his Nation responsibilities, Navasky is also Director of the James T. Delacorte Center for Magazine Journalism at Columbia University and a regular commentator on the public radio program Marketplace. Substantial discounts are available to FEDLINK members.
