New York Times Launches Madison Ads Archive

NYTMadisonNavThink of madison.nytimes.com as a kind of Grey Lady equivalent to Wikipedia. When clicking into the home page, visitors are greeted with the following:

The New York Times archives are full of advertisements that give glimpses into daily life and cultural history. Help us digitize our historic ads by answering simple questions. You’ll be creating a unique resource for historians, advertisers and the public — and leaving your mark on history.

Get started with our collection of ads from the 1960s (additional decades will be opened later)!

Ad Age’s Michael Sebastian very handily has the first few featured 1960s ads compiled at his end.
