IPSWICH, Mass., Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) introduces Science News Magazine Archive, offering cover-to-cover access to decades of issues of the iconic science and technology magazine, Science News, from its first publication in 1921 to 2010. The archive provides valuable insights for researchers exploring the historical development of scientific discoveries, topics, trends, and events. Through this one-time purchase, libraries will gain perpetual access to the archive.

Science News, published by Society for Science, delivers in-depth coverage of key developments in science, medicine, and technology from the early 20th century through today. Launched as a weekly newsletter and eventually evolving into a monthly magazine, each issue offers a wide array of topics, featuring high-quality writing and compelling imagery.

Through this collection, libraries will be gaining a record of science as it happened. Science News' journalists traveled to Tennessee in 1925 to cover the Scopes trial, which questioned whether evolution and "modern science" could be taught in schools, and were on the scene at Bikini Atoll to witness the 1946 atomic weapons tests. The Science News Magazine Archive charts the growth of the fields of genetics, radio astronomy and quantum mechanics, and covers all modern computing, the atomic age, the AIDS epidemic and space exploration.

EBSCO magazine archives are offered as a one-time purchase, allowing libraries to secure ongoing access to vital content. Each issue in the digital archives is presented in its original, complete format. All articles and cover pages have been indexed with subject terms to allow users to quickly find relevant results and easily search using EBSCOhost^® and EBSCO Discovery Service^™.
