I recently published a series of blog posts on historical business periodicals which had been digitized from the NYPL collection, and are available via links in the NYPL catalog or HathiTrust. While presenting a selection of such titles, I mentioned that more newer issues of these periodicals are available at the library, in print or on microfilm (and could not be digitized due to copyright restrictions). 

The following post offers several examples of business and technology periodicals for which the library has a run of at least 100 years. Most have undergone title changes, of which all are listed with links to our catalog records. In many instances, recent years are available in e-version via various databases that NYPL subscribes to and makes available to our readers.
