Little Magazine Collection at UW-Madison Special Collections

Little Magazine Collection at UW-Madison Special Collections The Little Magazine Collection, housed in the University of Wisconsin-Madison Special Collections, i We continue to add new titles as we find them.

The Little Magazine Collection, housed in the University of Wisconsin-Madison Special Collections, is one of the most extensive of its kind in the United States, including more than 7,000 English-language literary magazines, published mostly in the 20th century and on into the 21st. The Collection is still growing and we are delighted to look through the pile of new issues which arrives each week

(and photograph them). The Little Magazine Collection provides an important key to understanding modern literature. Characterized by their non-commercial attitudes and their penchant for the avant-garde and experimental, little magazines have continuously rebelled against established literary expression and theory by demonstrating an aggressive receptivity to new authors, new ideas, and new styles. To use these materials you must visit Special Collections which is open M-F 9-5. Collection Manager: Susan Barribeau. Web Editor: Oliver Bendorf.
