The only available index to this seminal magazine, although sadly only indexed by author. Although never officially published, this is available from various sources (including ) who do not want to see Bill Clark's work wasted. The contents have also been transcribed onto the Fictionmags website.
Author index to 100 "little magazines" covering the 80 years specified. Each item is also classified as fiction, poetry, or whatever. To date, there has been no Series Two published.
Not seen: general book on
the magazine, with an index by E. Alan Barker.
The fictionmags discussion group is slowly compiling an index to all manner of miscellaneous magazines and posting the results on a website maintained by Bill Contento. In most cases the magazines indexed here have not been indexed anywhere else but, at the same time, they are usually only isolated issues of the magazines in question and often list only the fiction in the magazines.
A painstaking analysis of who wrote each item in the magazine based on the record of payments to contributors in the office book kept by subeditor William Henry Wills
Series of booklets, each containing an author/title index to the specified magazines.
This is an eccentric volume, described by the author as a "pastime for my old age", containing selective information on "weird and fantastic" fiction in a variety of sources ranging from Romance Magazine to Weird Tales. While only partial contents are listed for a subset of the issues of each magazine, and there is no author or title index, the volume is still valuable as being, with the equally eccentric Index to Fantasy & Science Fiction in Munsey Publications, the only reference source for some older non-genre magazines.
To further complicate matters, the volume has grown organically over the years since the first version appeared in 1953, so no two copies will necessarily contain the same contents. Information on this site have been taken from the 1995 edition.
Comprehensive index to all 881 published issues of Adventure Magazine from 1910 to 1971, including indexes by issue, by author, by title and by illustrator. A unique feature of this index is that the author index contains (where known) brief biographical data on each author indexed. Note that the printed volume only indexes 875 of the issues. Available on CD-ROM from Locus Press.
Author index to about 100 "little magazines" covering the period specified. Each item is listed only by title with no attempt at classification.
Indexed as part of the Fictionmags website.
Index by issue and by author to all issues of the magazine in the 20th century, including some information on pseudonyms but making no differentiation between fiction and non-fiction.
Comprehensive index to all SF/fantasy magazines published in the UK from 1934 to 1953, including both original British magazines and British editions of American magazines (which frequently differed significantly from their American originals, particularly during and after World War II). Although the former have been covered in other indexes, this is the only index to cover the latter. In addition, this volume contains details of book reviews that are generally excluded from other indexes.

This slim (uncredited) volume was an attempt to index all fantasy and SF stories in magazines such as Cavalier and Argosy. As such, it contains only a single index by author of the stories in question. While only partial contents are listed for a subset of the issues of each magazine the volume is still valuable as being, with the equally eccentric An Index on the Weird & Fantastica in Magazines, the only reference source for some older non-genre magazines.

An eccentric volume that indexes a wide range of Victorian magazines, but does so by "subject". Although there is an index by author, there is no indication of whether items are fiction or non-fiction, and the information listed tends to be the subject rather than the title. Better than nothing for magazines not indexed elsewhere, but leaves much to be desired.
Index by issue and by author, covering fiction, poetry and regular columns. Distributed via PEAPS.

This was announced as Volume 1 in the "Fiction in the Pulp Magazines" series, but the untimely death of Mike Cook, and the spiralling costs of producing such indexes, meant that no further volumes ever appeared, although the CD-based Science Fiction, Fantasy, & Weird Fiction Magazine Index was based in part on the research that Steve Miller did for a later volume in the series.
An updated and expanded version of this index will form part of the Crime, Mystery and Gangster Fiction Magazine Index currently under development.
This online index is a work in progress with the stated goal of listing all mystery short fiction published in English since 1990. It also attempts to fill in the gaps left by previous print indexes, and maintains a list of missing books and magazines.

cover fiction, except for a few interviews, articles, etc which relate to the
fiction. Still available from the author - George Locke, Ferret Fantasy, 27 Beechcroft
Rd, Upper Tooting, London, SW17 7BX, UK.
Author index to Playboy magazine for its first 40 years, intermixing fiction by authors such as Fred Pohl with features such as "Playboy's Pro Football Review", and is valuable, at least, as the only index to the former category. Note that an earlier, 1992, version bore the title "Destiny Reference Guide: Volume I: The Magazine 12/53 thru 6/92".
The first four volumes in a massive (and long overdue) project to index all the pulp magazines before they finally crumble into dust. Although the format is not the most accessible, these volumes are unique both in adding indexes by artist and by character(!) to the more traditional indexes by issue, by author and by title, and also in including details of issues that were announced but never published. The only disappointing feature of the indexes is that so much space is spent on sf/fantasy and detective pulps that are already comprehensively indexed elsewhere rather than concentrating on the many magazines that have never been indexed before.
Although the series ground to a premature halt in 1991, there are persistent rumours of its imminent resurrection.
A comprehensive guide to English-language science fiction, fantasy & weird fiction magazines published from 1890 to 1997. Each issue is individually indexed and there are also indexes by author, by title and by cover artist. Both fiction and significant non-fiction contents are listed, together with cover artists (where known). An attempt is also made to identify the original authors behind pseudonyms and to group stories into series.
This ground-breaking reference work not only made a dozen standard magazine indexes obsolete overnight, and included dozens of magazines previously unindexed, but is also unique in being associated with a web site that boths fills in gaps in the original index as fugitive items are located, and also continually updates it as new magazines and issues are published. It also covers a number of magazines (and issues) that were put together (usually for trademark purposes) but never distributed to the general public.
Available on CD-ROM from Locus Press.

On 10-Sep-2001, Victor Berch announced in PulpMags "A colleague and I have all the contents to DROLL STORIES, GREEN BOOK ALBUM/GREEN BOOK, BRIEF STORIES, RED BOOK/REDBOOK (up through 1950). Those are on floppy disks and all we're waiting for is to create a name index and then, once Adventure Fiction Press gets going, those indexes will be made available." Sadly Adventure Fiction Press never did get going and these were "on hold" as of 2003.
