Reaches 75-Magazine Milestone With Simulcrum

By Russ Lockwood

In the realm of the Internet, "Content is King!" proclaims MagWeb.com (www.magweb.com), the world's largest military history archive on the Web. MagWeb.com has announced the signing of its 75th magazine, Simulacrum, a military game and book collectibles magazine from Canada.

Other recent additions to the MagWeb.com archive include: KTB (U-Boats and submarine history), Time Portal Passages (all eras of military history) The Armchair General (all eras--now out of print, published in late '60s-early 70's), Europa (WWII), Cry Havoc (an all eras Special Interest Group publication from MENSA), and a number of small product-oriented newsletters covering books, games, toy soldiers, and other items. In all, MagWeb.com members can access over 15,000 articles in the archive.

"Paying an annual print subscription to all 75 magazines would total over $1200--assuming you can even find the out-of-print journals," says Russ Lockwood, CEO. "Our search engine, subject index, and other navigation aides makes finding a particular article or subject a lot easier than flipping through years of back issues in a library. We are able to deliver a treasure trove of downloadable military history and product information from global sources, 24 hours per day, at over 90% off list price. It's the military history bargain of the 21st century."

Magweb.com has captured the imaginations of people all over the world who care about the past. Subscribers in countries as far flung as Abu Dhabi and Zimbabwe can learn more about battles, commanders, tactics, and weapons, and historical products. MagWeb's reach is global, with members in 34 different countries.

A current WWII contest ending on February 29 encourages people to learn more about WWII history, and ongoing surveys predict where conflicts will break out and reveal the greatest commander, most pivotal battle, weapons of interest, and favorite "off duty" activities.

"MagWeb can be compared to a premium cable channel," explains Lockwood. "Although there are some quality shows on free TV, the best programs are often found on cable. Similarly, people are willing to pay a small price for full access to hard-to-find magazines, saving them from wasting time wandering the Web. Our premium site helps you research faster, the product reviews help you buy smarter, and the electronic format makes it easier to use what you find. And there are no banner ads, pop-up ads, or other advertisements insde."

With 22+ new issues uploaded each month (over 100 articles a week), the site remains fresh and valuable to anyone with an interest in military history and war-related products. A newly revised interface design provides increased ease of navigation.

MagWeb, now in its 4th year of operation, provides easy access to a multitude of military history and product magazines such as Age of Napoleon, The Courier, Campaign, Battlefields, Cry Havoc, First Empire, Saga, Conflict, Seven Years War Association Journal, English Civil War Times, and The Zouave. Award-winning MagWeb is the only web site of its kind offering unlimited access and downloading to an ever-expanding archive of over 15,000 articles from more than 75 magazines from the US, UK, and now Canada for under $5 per month ($59.95 for 12 months). A 1-month subscription is $19.95, and 3- and 6-month subscriptions are $34.95 and $49.95.
