The Alan Neulander Magazine Collection consists of weekly, monthly, quarterly, special edition, and one-off  magazine and newsprint publications. Mr. Neulander's magazines span over a century of time with the earliest publication bearing a copyright date of 1882. Of special note are publications issued in the decade, of the last century, often referred to as The Roaring Twenties (1920-1929). Most publications in this block of the collection are dedicated to presenting a forum for then-current literary and fine arts contributors. Some issues of Broom contain writings by several of the notable authors and poets of the day (e.g., John Dos Passos, William Carlos Williams, Gertrude Stein, E.E. Cummings, and Aldous Huxley). In addition, the collection is significant for the number of magazines (and some newspapers) that cover life in America during the mid-part of the 20th Century. These are of a more diverse nature and though many continue to focus on the arts, several are devoted to travel and tourism, while a large number of the magazines published during the 1960's are dedicated to remembering the centennial of the American Civil War.
