Description: "More than 2,700 reels of microfilm among the three series, containing early American periodicals from approximately 300 major research libraries.  Eleven hundred titles cover the period from 1741 through the early 1900s, a period which includes the beginnings of American literature from Benjamin Franklin on, as well as the westward expansion in the 19th century and the boom in periodical publishing that took place between 1825 and 1850.  The periodicals are accessible through a printed index by title, subject, editor and reel number.  Entries indicate dates of publication, publisher, whether the periodical contains illustrations, holdings in the collection, history of title changes and editors, and locations of print copies in other libraries"--The Library of Congress Guide to the Microform Collections in the Humanities and Social Sciences Division, online version.
