Heya, I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the issues I’ve scanned!Ī big reason I’m tackling this scan project to begin with was I was starting to get an uptick of people going ‘hey, do you have this issue? Can you share scans of this article? Do you know what issue this article appeared in?’ and I figured it’d be way more useful to just have every single issue I have scanned and uploaded online so folks can look it up themselves. All of my copies were lost in a move so I can't check :( Is there any chance you could look for me or put out a request in the community? Thank you!! It was called "Great Grapes" and I'm pretty sure it is in the July/August 2005 issue. I have been searching for years and years for this one reader recipe that I contributed when I was a kid. Hi there! Thank you so much for the work you've done on this project. I’ll get around to making a dedicated page with scanning instructions/specifications soon! That way folks can get the details on how to help out without having to send an ask! When it comes time to send me the scans, uploading the files via an online file sharing such as google drive then sending me a link to said drive is probably the easiest way of sending the files over! Inserts tend to be the first thing missing, so if you don’t have time to scan an entire issue, even just sending me scans of the inserts can help a lot! If you’re looking for information on what specific scanners I use for the project, I’ve answered someone’s question about it before over here! Long story short: as long as you send me JPG files at 300dpi, whatever scanner you use is fine! There will be some scanners that will make scanning an entire magazine issue a lot faster, but ultimately use whatever you have access to!īe sure to check my list of AG issuesI currently have in my collection! I try to note down any inserts/pages I’m missing, but I only tend to notice them when doing cleanup. Hello, thank you for reaching out! I’m so glad you’re interested in helping me out with the scan project! (sorry if this is written weird, I've been waiting to ask this question for a while and didn't know a concise way to phrase it) I have several AG magazines, going from September/October 2008 to the end of the magazine's run (with bonus material like posters missing because I was one of those kids) and thought I could potentially pitch in some effort. I started keeping tabs (not directly following) on your blog because of the scan project and noticed the issues that were missing. If you do not have these issues, you can also help me buy issues by donating money to my Ko-Fi. The missing material will be added to the uploads, and credit will be given to you as desired. If you happen to have the missing materials/pages and you are gracious enough to scan it on my behalf, I will be in your debt. It’s highly possible I might not notice pieces are missing until I’m scanning. I’ve tried to make note of the pieces I’m missing both in the file names, the file description on the archive page, and on the list of AG Magazines currently in my possession. In some extreme cases, I’m even missing the magazine cover. Help NeededĪ lot of these issues were the same ones I used in my childhood, and as a result a lot of bonus materials are missing, such as the mini mags, posters or any stickers or posters. If I’m able to find a suitable solution or workaround, I’ll note it here. However, the sheer scale of the project & the file sizes are much more data then google drive offers by default. I would like to one day share the original files, including my original rough scans so people can make their own edits/adjustments to the original scans. Up Next: Jul/Aug Where to find these Scans You can find a list of all the American Girl Magazines I have in my possession on this page. I plan to clean and upload all the scans in the batch before I move on to the next batch. So instead of scanning all of my 2003 issues in one go, I’ll be scanning every September/October issue I have. I’m approaching this scanning project by scanning and cleaning in batches of months rather then by year. I’m finally biting the bullet & working to scan every single American Girl Magazine issue that I currently have in my collection! I don’t have every single issue, but I still have a solid chunk of the 2000s issues and that’s not nothing.
