Does anyone one know if there is an archive of old copies of this British magazine held anywhere.
 
 'Engineering' has a website and I have contacted them by email but have recieved no response.
 
My interest is very specific - the issue required is Feb 1884 - a long shot I know but worth trying
 
Hopefully - Ramon

The University Library in Cambridge has a couple of possibilities, including the last entry here. You can search the catalogue yourself at www.lib.cam.ac.uk.
 
If you find that they have got what you want, you may be able to get a photocopy through an inter-library loan through an academic institution near you. If you find what you want but draw a blank getting hold of it, then send me a private email with more detail of what you want and (very importantly) why, and I will try to help further (I am a member of the University).

Have you asked the library service at your local one?

Hi Ramon,
 
The British Library should have a copy at their archive in Boston (Lincs).  You should be able to obtain a copy via your local library.  I have obtained obscure articles from old and even more obscure journals in this way.

Thanks for the response.
 
I've had a two sessions on there Christopher but there are so many variables as to where to search I'm a bit lost. and no, I hadn't thought of the library so that will now be first on the list. Once again it's the most obvious that is least thought of.
It's dreadful to confess but I can't remember the last time I visited my local library
 
Regards - Ramon

The Science Museum Library, South Kensington, London, also hold bound copies of "Engineering" and "The Engineer".

A mate of mine here in Melbourne has about ten years worth from 1850 to 1860. Not much help to you though.
