8. Fine Woodworking -- << http://www.taunton.com/finewoodworking/ >> This is a fine magazine -- but it appears that none of their full articles are available at no charge on the internet / This might be a business mistake. They probably would attract more readers to their website and would make significant money from the ads on that site. The N.Y. Times has recently switched to that strategy.
9. Forbes Magazine, Archived articles from one of the best magazines in the world -- << http://www.forbes.com/lists/ >> All sorts of lists under the following topics: companies, education, food & drink, health, people, personal finance, places, real estate, special reports, sports, style, technology & internet, travel, vehicles
10. Fortune magazine --- Archived articles << http://money.cnn.com/galleries/fortune.html >>

15. N.Y. Times: News, current and archival -- http://www.nytimes.com/ -- Enter any topic in the search window and you will get every article published on that topic in the N.Y. Times. The Times makes available its archives from 1987 to the present without charge, as well as those from 1851 to 1922, which are in the public domain. There will be charges for some material from the period 1923 to 1986, and some will be free.
16. New Yorker, The: Go to << http://www.newyorker.com/archive >> . In the center of the page you will find a short selection of selected articles. Currently, they are featuring a few articles on Iraq, The Campaign Trail, New Orleans, Books, Film and Food. These archives are of limited use as a research source because they include only a tiny fraction of all the New Yorker articles. You are probably better off going to your local library and browsing through a "Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature" and reading the archived paper copies of the magazine.
17. PBS: The Public Broadcasting Service -- Follow these instructions for efficient use of the wonderful site: (1) go to << http://www.pbs.org >>; (2) click on "SEARCH", near the top-right (do not fill in the search window); (3) click on "Site Map"; (4) scroll down and browse through the Headlines (About PBS, About This Site, Arts & Drama, History, Home and Hobbies, Life & Culture, News & Views, Science & Nature, Search, Station Finder, TV Schedules); (5) note the various subjects under each heading; (6) Click on the Headline or subject that seems most likely to lead you to the information you want; (7) repeat #6 as needed. If you do not follow these steps, we can almost guarantee you will get lost.
18. Popular Science -- You can go to this website and fill in the search wndow with "archives" -- but the pickings are meager. Most of the archived articles are within the last two years and that list does not appear to be complete. It was not worth our time while looking for articles on early airplanes and some of the great articles from the early days of this magazine.
19. Science News Magazine / << http://www.sciencenews.org >>This apparently worthwhile site was very slow when we visited. We can't therefore recommend it even though weve subscribed to the hard copy at home for over thirty years.
20. Scientific American Magazine -- Most of the very worthwhile online articles from this fine magazine are free (excepting the current issue of the magazine) / << http://www.sciam.com/ >> / They make money online through the online ads. The free articles should increase traffic and income. Everyone benefits by this business strategy.
21. United States, Statistical Abstract of -- << http://www.howto-ville.com/Statisticalabstractus.html >> Contains all sorts of detailed information about the United States.
22. USA Today -- Offbeat news -- From USA TODAY / strange, interesting stories from all over the world / << http://www.usatoday.com/news/offbeat/default.htm >>
23. Wall Street Journal -- << http://wsj.com >> This online version of the newspaper has two sections: one is for subscribers and the other has free articles. There does not appear to be any archives -- so the pickings are slim if you are looking for general information on a subject. It is a wonderful newspaper -- but has limited use otherwise as a source of information.
24. Wired Magazine -- Technology -- http://howto.wired.com/wired/index.cgi -- "... a collaborative site ... all kinds of projects, hacks, tricks and tips on how to live, work and play better". From Wired.com. By the way, if anyone knows what they mean by "a collaborative site" let us know by sending an email to the "contact' address.
