Popular Science Partners with Google

"Popular Science has partnered with Google to offer its entire 140-year archive for free browsing. Each issue since 1862 appears just as it did at its original time of publication, complete with period advertisements. This resource encapsulates the ongoing fascination with the future, and science and technology’s potential to improve everyday life. Enter any keyword into the PopSci search box and dive in. As an alternative approach, you can use an online tool to plot how often any given word appeared in PopSci throughout the years: see the rise of “robots,” the decline of “aeroplanes” and the “wartime” booms."
