Episode Synopsis
S4E47: "Ciencia Publica: Analyzing Popular Science magazine as a primary source"Sylvia is an archivist and a practitioner of material culture analysis. I was delighted to speak with her a few months ago at the Ephemera Fair in Old Greenwich Connecticut regarding a 1931 issue of Popular Science (or cover thereof) that a student gifted me last year. In the ultimate coincidence, we just happened to be having our discussion in the former home of Conde Nast publishing, the maker of several popular magazine titles of the 20th century, including Glamour, Vogue, House & Garden, and Vanity Fair.Add to the conversation at everything-history.com/classroom/epsproject#magazines #popularscience #1920s #1930s #history #popculture
