Vanity Fair Magazine Archive

Access on and off campus.

Vanity Fair Magazine Archive presents an extensive collection of the popular magazine in a comprehensive cover-to-cover format, dating from its very first issue in 1913. Vanity Fair highlights artists, illustrators and writers providing in-depth coverage and social commentary. Beginning with the Jazz Age, the archive chronicles popular culture, fashion, celebrity portraiture and politics through the years. The original version of Vanity Fair featured popular, avant-garde covers for its first run from September 1913 through February 1936. The magazine was relaunched 47 years later in March 1983 with a new cover look focused on celebrity portraits and political figures.

Vanity Fair Magazine Archive is valuable to researchers of 20th-century current events, politics and culture, as well as those interested in the history of photography, advertising, and fashion design.
