The Making of America project at Cornell University seems to be nearing completion of its online journal collection and I thought it might be of interest to many on this list. It makes available (as graphic scans of the pages) the complete contents of many of the most influential American magazines of the 19th century, including the Atlantic, Century, Galaxy, Harper's Monthly, North American Review, Putnam's, Scribner's, etc. Besides having many of Twain's writings (starting with "Mark Swain's" Dec. 1866 debut in Harper's with "Forty-Three Days in an Open Boat"), they are a great source for the writings of others (Howells, Henry James, G. W. Cable, etc., etc.) and for the general context of the times. The collection is not yet searchable but index pages are available for most volumes.
