Presented in full color and full-text searchable, this collection of approximately 300,000 pages provides a powerful lens into American and international style and culture back to the mid-19th century, supporting academic research in a range of fields such as: women’s studies, fashion, marketing, advertising, consumerism, material culture, design and more. Harper’s Bazaar chronicles some of the most influential work from world-renowned designers, models, photographers, stylists, and illustrators from over a century and a half.

U.K. Edition
The Harper’s Bazaar Archive (U.K. Edition) is the complete run of the UK Harper’s Bazaar, from 1929 to 2015, presented in full color and full-text searchable. This edition is a valuable complement to the U.S. edition. A venerable and renowned publication in its own right, the U.K. edition offers many decades of high-quality fashion and lifestyle content, aimed at a discerning audience. Coverage for the digital edition is from the first issue in 1929 through to a fixed termination date of 2015 and the archive comprises approximately 200,000 pages. Each issue is scanned from cover to cover in full color, with all editorial content, pictorial features, and advertisements separately indexed to permit easy search and discovery.

* Our policy is to include each issue from the first and to scan from cover to cover. Due to the rarity of some of the original print volumes, however, there are some gaps (issues or pages).
