As you listed US publications, I would suggest that the best place to go is the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. You would, however, have to register for a researcher card and have some idea of what you're looking for. For non-current periodicals, you can't just browse the stacks (though you could probably browse the microfilm); you would need to fill out a slip requesting a specific run of magazines. |

The University of Wisconsin was great for this kind of thing. All of their old periodicals were just bound in the open stacks, so you could just walk up and pull early 20th century copies of Scientific American and browse through them. In general, I would suggest that the places that are likely to do this are going to be universities that have been collecting and binding periodicals for a long time, so other big land grant universities are likely to be in a similar situation. |
