USModernist® Magazine Library

Access to legacy publications has never been more critical for preservation, and tarchitects, realtors, owners, sellers, and buyers did not have an easy way to research architecture and design magazine coverage from the early to mid-20th century - until now.  You can be part of this breakthrough documentation project by contacting us to donate missing magazines or donate funds to acquire more magazines.  USModernist is a 501C nonprofit and donations are tax-deductible.
