Welcome to our Online Archive. On this Web site, we exhibit Painted Bride Quarterly’s entire 30-plus-year history, along with links to our recent online issues.

You will need Acrobat Reader to read these scanned issues, which are in Portable Document Format (or PDF). If you do not have the Acrobat Reader, go to the Adobe Web site to download a free copy. Also note that more of these files are on the larger side, so it’s best to have a faster connection. Right-clicking on the thumbnail covers of issues will enable you to save the issues on your hard drive in most Web browsers. And if you have a 56k connection, you will probably have some significant download times. But it’s all very much worth it!

Poke around and read all of the great writers, artists, and editors who have contributed to our pages over the years. Like everything that has had to do with PBQ, the Painted Bride Quarterly Online Archive is a collective effort--if you are a former contributor, drop us a line at pbq@camden.rutgers.edu. We’d love to hear from you. And if you’ve just heard of us, well, there’s a long story to tell, so start reading…
