The Beaver Archive

Do you have any really old Beaver magazines? We need your help to share our history!

Posted January 6, 2017
Cover of the August 1922 issue of The Beaver.

When we were preparing to relaunch a digital archive of past Beaver magazine issues, we found that some of our issues have been too well-loved.

If you have any of the copies listed below in good condition and are willing to donate them back to us please contact us at: webeditor@canadashistory.ca.

We are looking for copies of the following digest format issues:

  • 1922 — August
  • 1923 — February
  • 1924 — March, April, May, June, and August

Please do not send us your prized issues without contacting us first.

Please note: We are unable to provide a charitable tax receipt as there is no way to determine fair market value on past magazine issues.
