Info says "Every issue, every page, and every photo from the magazine will be online in the original context -- from 1892 to the present" here I am hoping this will be a wonderful as it is in my head!

However, my hunch is they're probably going to charge for access to the archives or limit it to current subscribers. ------ The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale.

I just saw the Sunday Morning show on CBS, and they had a spot about Vogue. Access to the full archive is $1500, and subscribers will be allowed access to parts of it "free". They also have a new book out with covers from past issues. Big book, and probably Big Dollars also. edited to add: I don't know if that is a one-time fee, or if it's an annual subscription. -- Edited on 12/11/11 10:03 AM -- another edit: it's $1575 for 1 year. They do have the following "If your organization requires more than one user, please contact WGSN about a corporate subscription." I wonder if PR would qualify, I know I'd chip in for a group account. -- Edited on 12/11/11 10:09 AM --

justgail Intermediate IA USA Member since 1/19/06 Posts: 514	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 12/11/11 11:51 AM at that price every year, yes it is ridiculous. If it were a one-time charge like other magazines and their DVD archives, it would still be expensive, but considering they are 100+ years old, and started out as a small weekly, the cost per issue cost might be more reasonable. At 12/year for 100 years, that works out to $1.30/issue. I don't care for the magazines that I've picked up (and returned to the shelf) a few times lately is - where are the clothes? I mean - for a fashion magazine, you can't see the clothes for all the "artsy" poses. I guess it's more about selling the image than the clothes now.

It's kind of fun reading ads from way back though. ------ I have not yet begun to procrastinate
