The Nation Archive

Great news! The Library now has access to The Nation Archive, a database containing the complete archive of The Nation, America’s oldest weekly magazine.

The Nation

Since its creation in 1865, The Nation has been considered one of America’s “premier journals of opinion” for social commentary in the areas of politics, culture, books, news, arts, and literature.

Past contributors to The Nation have included Ralph Nader, Hunter Thompson, Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, Emma Goldman, Jean-Paul Sartre, Sylvia Plath, and Henry James – just to name a handful.

The Nation Archive will be of interest to students and scholars in a wide range of disciplines including Political Science, History, Sociology, and English.
