If you are aware of a magazine article you need that we don't have, you can request it though interlibrary loan. We can sometimes get articles the same day, but it is best to allow a few days. For further information use this link:
To find pictures in magazines, you will probably want to go to the shelf and just browse magazines published during your period of interest that have lots of illustrations that would likely contain clothing.
If you have a particular title in mind, enter it into the Journal Finder box to your left. This should show how we could provide access to the title you want. For example, try the magazine "Life Magazine". After entering the title notice that we have it in several online databases. However, if you look at the issues within each database you will discover the illustrations are not included. For the magazines we have in print on the shelf, click on "Colorado Mesa University Library Journals". That will take you to our online catalog and you can determine what dates we have and where they are located. In the case of "Life Magazine" we have some years on the shelf in large volumes, and other years are available in microfiche. Either format will offer illustrations and a librarian will be glad to assist you in finding the particular issues you need. The "Journal Finder" is also available from the library home page (link below).
