Past Periodicals
The Unsettling Scientific Stories Database is available here:
http://unsettlingscientificstories.co.uk/past-periodicals-database
This database contains a survey of complete runs of key 20th Century UK and US magazines, periodicals with a wide circulation that will give a range of political and economic perspectives, but which are not primarily focused on science. The database:
-
Explores the major themes of popular coverage of science, technology, medicine, engineering, agriculture and environments during the twentieth century.
-
Examines articles, cartoons, pictures, adverts and other ephemera in order to identify and categorize scientific themes and questions as they emerge.
-
Chart the changes in the popular contexts in which science/technology was and is framed.
