January-February 2020
The digital edition of the Nov-Dec, 2019 issue at the publishing site Issuu
Digital Editions This is the fifth issue of Alaskan History Magazine, and the second one available to buy as a single issue if you’re not a subscriber to the print edition. The first three issues, May-June, JulyAugust, and Sept-Oct, 2019 are available to anyone to read free; the Nov-Dec, 2019 issue is the first digital issue for sale, and now this Jan-Feb, 2020 issue. These beautiful digital editions are a great way to share the magazine with friends and family, or to take them with you while traveling, or for just enjoying on your favorite electronic device. Please note that, as with previous digital editions, the page count will differ slightly from the print edition. At some point I hope to align them, and I also hope to add interactive content to these electronic versions, including embedded audio and video clips. A word about the company making this possible…. Issuu (/ˈɪs.juː/) is an electronic publishing platform founded in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2006, enabling creators of publications to share their content digitally. In 2009, Issuu was named one of TIME's 50 Best Websites. By 2011, Issuu software was being used by several online publications, and by early 2013, the company opened an office in Palo Alto, California. With the move, the founders of Issuu stated that they saw social media and digital distribution partnerships as the key to its growth, rather than focusing mostly on publishing relationships. My goal with Alaskan History Magazine is to utilize the powerful digital and social media tools which Issuu offers to make the stories and history of our state available in a dynamic, exciting, and profoundly informative format. Thank you for supporting that dream! ~Helen, publisher
