Harp Week
- Harper's Weekly was a 19th Century
illustrated magazine published from 1857 to 1916. This
description, from the Harp Week web site, explains how important this
database is...
- Until
now there has been no way for students and researchers to access the
illustrations, cartoons, news, literature, editorials, and ads that
these volumes contain without spending hours poring over microfilm or
locked-up original copies in rare book rooms of libraries. Harper’s Weekly is
really the only consistent, comprehensive, week-to-week chronological
record of what happened world-wide in the last half of the nineteenth
century.
