>Certain issues of The Onion newspaper are mysteriously missing from our 270-year archive, and you might be able to help us recover them.

Did somebody steal these magazines or are they just being overly dramatic?

Should have posted the direct link with more details about what they are looking for and how to help. That's here: https://theonion.com/archivehunt/

I was excited that I may have been able to help, but I just have issues from volumes 36 and 37... Perhaps this is for the best, as it would have deeply fed my pack rat tendencies.

libraries sadly have to destroy old archives all the time but it's not like a lost Doctor Who episode, it will show up eventually meanwhile they can keep eerily predicting dystopia like the government televising executions for entertainment a year before it happens

TIL The Onion goes back to at least 1988. Anyway, I'm a big fan of what their new(ish) management has been doing, especially with infowars. I hope they can get the issues they're looking for.

TIL from mid-2011 to mid-2012 the print edition of The Onion was actually distributed here in Toronto ( https://globalnews.ca/news/125698/the-onion-newspaper-coming... ; https://nmc-mic.ca/2012/07/24/star-media-group-suspends-publ... ). Seems I missed out :(

I may actually have some of these. I picked up a bunch of issues in Madison in the early 90's and I'm pretty sure I still have them...somewhere.

Area Man has them.

On the night the Onion finally went out of print my friends and I went and took a few of the newspaper boxes they distributed them out of in Madison. One stayed at our friend's house, the other one we used as a distribution box for our own anonymous satirical newspaper we wrote for our high school.

I wish the title could be changed to something that reflects the actual need: The Onion has gaps in their archive, and are asking for fans to help fill those gaps.

One of the highlights of trips to Milwaukee - picking up the latest Onion and Shepherd Express.
