Introduction

The Advanstar Communications, Inc. Collection was donated to the Special Collections Department in 2003 by Brian Albright on behalf of the company. The collection consists of 9 cubic feet of material, and is made up of original copies of the publisher’s premier magazines Automatic I.D. News, Frontline Solutions Magazine, photographs, negatives, slides and promotional materials.

The collection focuses primarily on the trade magazines produced by the publisher from the beginning of the primary publication, Automatic I.D. news when it was begun in 1985 by Edgell Communications to present form as Frontline Solutions Magazine. The collection is unique in that the various volumes and issue of the two magazines and their offshoots allow the researched to gain a clear view through advertisements and articles of the evolution of an industry.

The collection is open to research without restrictions in accordance with general access principles, and under the discretion of the Special Collections Department Staff. The collection's creator (Advanstar Communications, Inc.) holds all copyrights to the papers and publications. All requests to use or reproduce any of the photographic materials or publications should be addressed to the Special Collections Department Staff; copyrights to all additional, remaining items within the collection must be obtained from the owner prior to use.
