Jeff, JSTOR has both the Magazine of History (short title) but a whole lot more, including the William & Mary Quarterly since its first issue. I am not sure JSTOR is making any of this free. I access it through the Rappahannock Regional Library. The key to finding articles used to be with the Earl Swemm index. These days, it is probably searchable via a search engine. However, if JSTOR is making this content available for free now, it will be a great boon.
