Fashion magazine Vogue has opened it archive for (paid) public viewing. By digitizing and scanning its collection in its entirety (advertisements and photos included), Vogue has set a new high water mark for digital archives, many of which, up until this point, have omitted large parts of the printed collection from the digital archiving process. While not inexpensive ($1575-per-year), researchers and scholars interested in fashion, photography and advertising will find this resource invaluable.
For more information, go directly to the Vogue archive ("Every Issue. Every Page. 1892 to today") and read this piece in The Wall Street Journal.
