70 Years Of Billboard Magazine…Massive Memory Lane Archive

At this link, are full copies of every weekly Billboard Magazine from 1940 through 2010. Although from the mid ’60s on, Billboard’s main focus was records, radio and music, the late ’40s through the late ’50s issues have a good bit of television news at the start of each issue.

On the page, use the sliding bar under the covers to pick a date, like your birthday to see what was happening then and click on the image. Just under the cover image that pops up, there is a “Preview this magazine” option in blue..click that to see the whole issue. Enjoy and Share! -Bobby Ellerbee

    Fantastic. I like to look at Varietys from the early part of the 20th Century and read all the vaudeville notices.

    I love this. I’ve used this link many times…there are gaps, however, (ie; between Feb. 5 – March 5 – March 26, 1966).
