My husband came home today with a stack of Burda magazines from the 70s from a thrift store. I'm looking forward to adding them to my pattern database, but it would of course be easier if I didn't have to scan all of them myself first.

I remember two such databases; I found one of them, but I think it has since been taken down:

The other was more app like, if memory serves correctly. Do any of you remember it?

From back in May of 2012, (just as a period of time on the internet when the wayback machine grabbed some of it) some 50's, 60's and 70's Burda magazine stuff here now:

https://web.archive.org/web/20120512022223/http://www.ms77.ru/articles/biblioteka/15088/

It kind of looks like that is scans of the whole old magazines ? Maybe try that? If you can't find something you want, right there, with that exact date in time, then maybe pick another, random date to check there though.

But anyways, Internet Archive of San Fransisco is a handy thing and they do good stuff!

Thanks! That helps a great deal. Interestingly, while the main index has been taken down, the individual issues are still on the site, along with the larger scans.

That's how lots of website are actually. When they don't want stuff to show anymore, or be easy navagatable, or an easy download anymore, they often just drop some links. If however they actually lose their server or stop paying someone else for something like that, then something might be really gone, at least in that one place. Now that we have been talking about it, over the internet though, if you really want it, maybe you should take the opportunity to save what you want to keep reference to, someplace that you control instead even. Even at your own house. Just since that internet archive will not keep up and will remove stuff from their server's even, if someone really contacts them and goes though procedures and if they can prove they own it, and don't want it there even at all. It probably takes quite a bit of time for that to happen though, I would think.

For newer ones (2005-2016) I found a discussion here that has this link:

Magazine archive

I notice quite a few issues are missing, but it's still useful.

This link still works, and has quite a few magazines going back to 2004 (and then to 1987, with quite a gap in between!).

This is the one I have. There used to be others in Russian and English, but some were shut down by Burda and others just disappeared.

Thanks, although I didn't see links to photos or drawings on the issues I randomly chose to look at.
