AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Founded as a magazine of 'fiction, fact, sensation, wit, humour, and news' by Peter Fenelon Collier, Collier's Once a Week, the magazine was later known as Collier's Weekly: An Illustrated Journal, Colliers: The National Weekly and simply as Collier's. By 1892 Collier's was one of America's largest selling magazines with a circulation of over 250,000. As the emphasis on news expanded, the magazine became a leading exponent of the halftone news picture.

After Peter Collier's son Robert died in 1918 the magazine was briefly run by his friends: Samuel Dunn, Harry Payne Whitney and Francis Patrick Garvan before being sold the following year to the Crowell Publishing Company. The magazine ceased publication with the January 4, 1957 issue but was revived in February 2012.
