Back issues of sailing magazines for references in Wikipedia

[Bi111ion]

When writing articles on Wikipedia about a class of boat one needs independent verifiable sources, so not elated to the designer and builder. For example an article reviewing the boat in Practical Boat Owner or other yachting press would be great. Is there a way to search an index of sailing magazines? Obviously needs to go way back as boats typically reviewed when they are new. I was just editing the article on Laurent Giles Jolly Boat, and I think I had a photocopy of an article about it when I had one of these, but gave that to the next owner.

There used to be a crudely searchable index for the old PBO/YM etc. article copies you could buy, but they're no longer sold, and I think the index has gone.
