Nineteenth-Century Children's Periodicals

I mentioned in class that in addition to novels, there was a wealth of children's periodicals (think Highlights for the nineteenth century) you could use for your Digital Archive (D.A.) assignment. You'll find information about some of these in the "Nineteenth-Century American Children and What They Read" link to the left. But if you're poking around the databases listed on your D.A. assignment sheet, you might look for these popular periodicals: Our Young Folks, Juvenile Miscellany, and The Youth's Companion.

These publications were wildly successful, and you'll find short stories from many of the authors we've encountered this semester. We'll do some work to find these next week when we meet with the Humanities librarian, but if you'd like to do some work now, these titles should aid your search.
