@Guyfang I found this here which seems to be a complete list of PS magazine’s starting from Issue # 2 July 1951 until #804 November 2019 from which point the link in post #1 takes over as this apparently changed to digital format only

Note:
Click on the issue number. The issue cover page will be shown with a link to the full pdf of this issue.
A few issues maybe missing.

it might be a good idea if one of our esteemed members, who is about to die of boredom, starts to download each issue (about 800+ downloads) and the forum experts start compiling a download section where all pdf’s are searchable by keyword(s)

just some food for thought

PS Magazine 1951 - 2019

I agree. Maybe we can find someone to help.

And to think, I had ALL the issues from the mid 60's to the month before I got out in Feb, 1993. I gave them to my replacement, and my guys wrote me later that he tossed them all out.

@peapvp thank you for sharing that website!

I used Python to scrape the site and download all the PDFs. Took about an hour or two to code and run. It looks like Issue 001, 164, and 804 are missing.

The 800 back issues are about 22GB compressed. What is the best way to make these available to members? Break up into several smaller chunks? Host on a content delivery platform for full download? Happy to help however and can continue to automate a lot of the tedious work.

It is a shame PS Magazine is being discontinued and sad to hear @Guyfang’s old issues were tossed.

@1151 thank you so much for your hard-work and dedication!
I guess, as to the technical side of hosting these pdf’s and make them searchable from the website would be something @Guyfang would have to arrange / coordinate with @patracy I believe.

Here is the cloud link as zip. Download soon if you want it and make sure you have at least 21GB available.
Please let me know if this was helpful for you!

Does anyone have Issue 001, 164, or 804? Please share if so.

He was an Ordnance guy. What can I say. Engineers have a law about being too dumb to chew gum and walk.
