***Update: I decided to create a Blogger blog, since that's the format I know best and the pages are easy to arrange in order. I've put up the January 1943 issue and the February 1943 issue. More to come as I have time. If you click an image, you should be able to page through the whole magazine.
This is going to sound like a weird question. I have a small collection (six or seven copies) of a very old magazine called American Cookery. All of my copies are from the WW II era, so the articles and recipes are really interesting. I came across them while I was cleaning out some closets a few weeks ago and they are starting to crumble around the edges, so I was thinking it might be nice to scan them and share them online. Where would be the best place to do this? I have a blog, but I didn't know if a site like Flickr or Instagram might be more easily seen/searched by people who are interested in vintage recipes.
I'm not sure what, if anything, the copyright issue might be. I believe this magazine went out of print at least 50 years ago, and I have never, ever seen any other copies, anywhere, on- or off-line. I just want to share these online before they crumble to dust!

I'm thinking I may start out on my blog or maybe start a whole new blog for them along with some other old recipe booklets I have. I'm still looking around at the options. When I get them online, I'll definitely let y'all know.
