It must have been a print journal originally, as I see references to the
Pennsylvania Review that predate the internet. But nothing on their website
indicates the current existence of a print version, and nowhere do they
provide subscription information, which they would surely do if they also
existed on paper. So I have to conclude that they are electronic only ---
which is why I find a severely abridged electronic archives puzzling.
Their site is at: http://pennreview.com

Is it a print journal? That seems fairly standard for magazine which
appear in print. I've always thought the big advantage of the net is
that the archives are both available and accessible, and most ezines
are available in full.
The Pandora Project run by the National Library of Australia archives
websites of cultural importance (they archive both Theatre Notes and
Masthead) in order to combat the black hole possibility. It's huge...
and you can even find the Sydney Olympics there. It's at
