Are these just sites or something more complex? >> WMQ is the William and Mary Quarterly -- a magazine dearly loved by all historians of colonial America. It has been running for nearly a century, and comes in Series 1, Series 2, and Series 3 rather than having all the volumes numbered consecutively. http://www.jstor.com is not primarily a genealogical site. Rather, it is a service to which academic researchers (mostly) subscribe because they have the back issues of a lot of journals online and searchable as a database. As a demo (to coax people to subscribe) they let you search three journals through the year 1921. One of those journals happens to be the WMQ, bless their hearts, so you can get into their demo and search those years for free. If you ever meet VMHB, that's the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography. Virginia
