Boston Review Magazine's Archives Now Available in EBSCO Collection

Boston Review Magazine Archives Join EBSCO's Digital Collection

In a significant move for literary and political discourse, the Boston Review Magazine Archive has become part of EBSCO Information Services’ extensive digital magazine archive collection. This collaboration marks a milestone for both entities, particularly as Boston Review celebrates its 50th anniversary.

Boston Review—an independent and nonprofit magazine known for its insightful analysis on politics and culture—has provided readers with vital discussions since 1975. Now, its archives will be available for searching and browsing in a digital format, enriching the resources for educators, researchers, and avid readers alike.

This archive showcases a treasure trove of material, including pieces by renowned thinkers and writers like Robin D. G. Kelley, Noam Chomsky, and Vivian Gornick, among others. Covering a wide array of topics such as politics, economics, literature, philosophy, science, and social justice, the archive from 1975 to 2010 encompasses 144 issues filled with thought-provoking content.

Jasmine Parmley, the Associate Publisher at Boston Review, expressed enthusiasm for this partnership, citing a shared commitment to accessibility alongside EBSCO’s capabilities. She remarked, “This collaboration ensures that our rich archive will be newly accessible to researchers, educators, and readers around the world.” The goal is to make the critical dialogues that have occurred within the magazine over its long history available to a broader audience.

For institutions looking to enhance their collections, the digital archive represents a one-time purchase option, allowing libraries to secure ongoing access to this essential content. Each issue in the collection maintains its original layout and context, with articles and cover pages indexed under subject terms. This structured approach enables users to efficiently discover relevant material using EBSCOhost® and EBSCO Discovery Service™.

The emergence of the Boston Review Magazine Archive adds to EBSCO’s already impressive roster of available archives. Other notable archives include those from prestigious publications like The Atlantic, Bloomberg Businessweek, TIME, and Vanity Fair, among others. The inclusion of the Boston Review further diversifies the content available to library users and researchers, ensuring a comprehensive collection for those delving into various fields of study.

The Boston Review and EBSCO partnership emphasizes the importance of preserving and sharing knowledge. By digitizing such important collections, EBSCO continues to play a key role in making historical and contemporary discussions accessible for future generations. As educational and public institutions increasingly rely on digital resources, the accessibility of past issues of the Boston Review will undoubtedly serve as a valuable resource for ongoing discourse in politics, culture, and beyond.

For anyone interested in exploring these archives, further information can be found on EBSCO’s digital magazine archives website, offering a unique opportunity to engage with critical issues and ideas that have shaped our cultural and political landscape over the last five decades.
