Google has been expanding their periodical offerings through their archive of digitized books, and recently they continued their work in this area by offering access to Ebony magazine. The magazine was started by the late John H. Johnson in 1945, and since that time it has focused its work on offering insights and commentary into the African-American experience. On this site, visitors can read the majority of the back issues of this magazine, and they can use the site to perform detailed searches within each issue. The "Browse all issues" allows interested parties to view separate issues from the past six decades. As with other magazines scanned by Google, visitors can also look at the interactive "Places mentioned in this magazine" map near the bottom of the site. Also, a "Key Terms" section provides a brief summary of some of the places, events, and persons mentioned in each magazine.
