Liberty, a weekly illustrated magazine, charted the
course of middle America from 1924-1950 with art,
stories, and feature articles from some of the 20th
century's greatest authors, celebrities, artists, and
politicians. With its circulation of more than three
million and its contributions from such luminaries as
Walt Disney, Albert Einstein, Agatha Christie, F. Scott
Fitzgerald, H.G. Wells, Clark Gable, Mae West, Franklin
Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill, Liberty set out to be
more topical, daring, and exciting than its competitors
by focusing on the most sensational and popular issues.
Liberty Magazine Historical Archive features the
complete run of the magazine, including more than
17,000 stories and articles ranging from mystery and
suspense to autobiography and humor, and revealing
the attitudes, lifestyles, fads, and desires of America
in the first half of the 20th century. Also included are
more than 1,300 full-color magazine covers and more
than 10,000 one- and two-color illustrations, as well as
thousands of advertisements from the period.
U.S. CIT Y BUREAUS COLLECTION
The U.S. City Bureaus Collection offers access to records from the AP's domestic bureaus, dating from 1931 to
2004. Primarily a post-World War II collection, these records include news stories in the form of typescript
carbons or wire copy, the version that AP sent on to its member newspapers, which members were free to
alter. Among the most covered topics are crime, education, civil rights, environmental issues, immigration,
urban affairs, sports, elections, and politics. With surprising frequency, regional stories turned into news of
transcendent importance.
Cities include: Atlanta, Austin, Birmingham, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, New Orleans, Pittsburgh,
and San Francisco
