Does anybody know what has happened at HathiTrust --- They have changed access rights on [possibly all] magazines, so Full View is only available for magazines 1895 and prior. 1896 issues seem to be Limited Search only [you can ONLY search for words or phrases to see if they occur within the text].

I skimmed through about a dozen magazine archives, and found this situation for UK and US magazines.

So it seems you can no longer view or download pages that were published in 1896 or later.

I wonder if they have a lawsuit pending or something ???

I am heartbroken --- that site has been a prime source for old short stories and Internet Archive has only quite limited magazine archives.

AARRRGGGHH!!!
