Old Wargaming Magazines

[Count_Zero]

My dad used to be really into miniatures wargaming back in the day, and has a ton of issues of Wargamers Digest magazine which he's accumulated (which include some articles written by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, among others). I can't find any archives of the magazine on Archive.org, nor any scans available anywhere else, nor am I particularly equipped to do the scans on my own. Would anyone be interested in these?

I will pay the cost for shipping them out to you.

Alright - I found someone who can do the scanning. If this is something that might actually be a good fit for Retromags, in addition to Archive.org, please let me know.

Please have a look at this section of downloads and tell me if you think Retromags would turn ANYTHING down.  I'm still not sure if E-Day is taking the piss or if he's genuinely interested in archiving mags about pot-holders, cake decorating, crocheting, plastic canvas, and SHEEP.  OK, actually I know for a fact he has a genuine interest in that last one.

But yeah, bottom line is, if you want to share mags about wargaming here, I don't think anyone is gonna say you shouldn't.  Though of course Archive will be your main pipeline to the masses.  As someone who has scanned almost nothing but material outside of most RM members' interests (Japanese, Star Trek, toys, anime, beer) I can say that I easily get at least 10 times the amount of views at Archive that I do here.  But you'll still reach a few people here who might not see your mags at Archive.
