It has to be the best offer of all time: subscribe to Antiques to Vintage magazine and you’ll get free and unlimited access to more than 1000 feature articles on antiques, collectables, retro and vintage, meticulously researched by specialist writers. Exclusive information you won’t find anywhere else – and guaranteed to be free of AI.
How can we do this? Easy: when we realised we’d reached the milestone of Issue 100 we also realised we’d been building a legacy of information over the years, and it seemed such a waste not to share it. So that’s what we’ve done.
Subscribers to Antiques to Vintage magazine (print or digital) can log in to the Articles Archive here on our website and browse 36 categories of antiques and collecting. Within each of those categories we’ve stored pretty much all of the relevant features that have been published over the past 22 years; all you need to do is select a category that interests you, browse the subjects available and if you want to read one, simply click on it. It will open as a PDF – you can read it on screen, print it out or download it to your device.
The features appear pretty much as they did in the original magazine, which means sometimes they’ll have adverts within the file – we’re taking the files directly from the print files that were used the first time around, in all their lavishly illustrated and professionally presented glory.
The categories and volume of articles will continue to expand as we continue to publish, and even though there’s a huge number of features already there, we’ve still got quite a lot of the really early magazines to add in. It’s probably safe to say that whatever your area of interest, you’re likely to find that we’ve featured several, and probably many more, articles related to your subject over the years. Each feature runs from 1000 to 3500 words; it really is a true treasure trove of knowledge.
Already we’ve been thrilled with all the ways people have said the Antiques Archive is benefitting them. Besides reading purely for the pleasure of learning, some of the other feedback includes:
• Researching new collections of interest
• Checking for missing items in collections
• Learning information on new or proposed acquisitions
• Understanding the comings and goings of trends over time
• Educating children and grandchildren about goods and their uses in past eras.
• Researching sale values of an item over time.
• Updating information files on collections to be handed on to heirs and family or sold.
• Learning more about hallmarks, names, signatures for identification and confirmation of authenticity.
