Even for those who aren’t movie buffs, the vibrant covers of Cine-Mundial never fail to snag one’s attention, and who could deny the pleasure of watching the evolution of the celebrity magazine unfold over 25 years of Modern Screen. The covers of Radio Age helped listeners transcend the purely auditory experience of early radio and the advertisements that grace the covers of Broadcasting trace the evolution of television as the public’s broadcast medium of choice. These are just a few examples from nearly one hundred titles now available in the newly released Historical Media Publications Collection — a treasure trove of film, television, radio, and recorded sound history published from the late 1800s through the mid-1900s.
