Galaxy

Galaxy, sometimes published as "Galaxy Magazine", and sometimes as "Galaxy Science Fiction", was an influential 20th century American science fiction magazine. (There is a Wikipedia article about this serial.)

Publication History

Galaxy began with the October 1950 issue. It absorbed Worlds of If in 1975. It ceased publication with the July 1980 issue, though a brief revival ran from 1994 to 1995. The first actively copyright-renewed issue is September 1953 (v. 6 no. 6). The first actively copyright-renewed contribution is from October 1950 (v. 1 no. 1). (More details) Nearly all issues had one or more copyright-renewed contributions. Below we link to scans of the two issues that had no renewals, and to digital copies of individual stories published in the magazine that were unrenewed or that we know to be online with authorization.
