I need help with a personal research project. How can I find out the circulation numbers of The Saturday Evening Post in Canada between 1949 and 1961?

The Curtis Publishing Co. is still around and may have archives with this info.

Best answer: Also, this information is most likely in the hands of the Alliance for Audited Media, which has over 100 years of newspaper and magazine circulation info. Try tracking it down via this project which is aiming to make AAM's historic information more readily available. Search via the Titles Included tab; they have Saturday Evening Post from 1919 to 1969. Find the SEPost page, then look at the file called SAEV-geodata.csv. It has, for every year, circulation by state as well as Canada separated out.
