Sorry, can’t find open access to any of these titles (if somebody else can, please let the list know!)  If you’re looking for Harper’s Weekly (the big illustrated magazine), you can get bits and pieces here:  http://www.harpweek.com/

 

Google Books has some scanned popular magazines:

They do have Life back to 1936, if that’s at all helpful.

 

Good luck!

Anyone aware of open source access to old journals: Ladies Home Journal, Harpers, Good Housekeeping, Better Homes and Gardens?? We are routinely hit by students requesting articles from 1900’s for historical research – any hints greatly appreciated.
