This website contains linked tables of contents extracted from 259 issues found on Internet Archive spanning Tuesday, October 3, 1944 to Tuesday, August 14, 1945, comprising approximately 5,845 headlines.
This website was created with the help of large language models and is primarily aimed at giving students of history easier access to this source for critical analysis. Claude Code (Opus 4.6) was used to orchestrate the workflow and generate the website code. The text of the headlines from the individual issues were mechanically extracted by Gemini 3 Flash. A selection of random headlines were checked manually for accuracy, but it must be emphasized that the issue headlines have not all been checked manually and there are no doubt some mistakes of transcription. If you find errors you would like fixed, please send them on to Konrad Lawson at kl at muninn.net. My hope is that the site will make it easier to browse headlines and locate issues of interest.
