These are downloadable zip files of scanned historical magazines from the Joyce Hughes Collection. The collection includes Linechasers UK, Cat Review, Cat World (1950s-60s), Cats Magazine (early issues) and others as I scan them.

With grateful thanks to the family of Joyce Hughes for allowing me to share this historical collection from her estate. As well as thousands of magazines, the collection included club newsletters, show catalogues and hundreds of books. The newsletters, catalogues and books have found homes around the world with cat clubs, breed societies and individuals dedicated to keep fat fancy history alive. Joyce was and important figure in the early days of Havana/Havana Browns and Oriental Shorthairs.

They are free to download and use, but a mention of The Joyce Hughes Bequest would be appreciated by her family.

These are large zip files and may be slow to download. There are issues missing.
