On the subject of databases, our Committee member Jenny Fawbert brought this website to our attention. Hosted by the World Forum for Motor Museums, who amongst other things organize a biennial forum for motor museum professionals, principals, owners and collectors, it is an international directory of digitized motor magazine back issues. Most are period publications, while some are still in production (including the locally produced Country Motor, linked to in our newsletter).
There are over 100 different digitised magazines from countries including Australia, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Denmark, Germany, France, Great Britain and the USA.
The directory can be accessed at https://wffmm.org/index.php/directory-of-digitised-magazines/
