Welcome to the first online community-built database of Magazines.
Our mission is to build the largest magazine archive in the world.
What Is Kaastor?
Picture a giant online archive of magazines. Kaastor is the portal that enables this vision. We are a community-built database with information on magazines, covers, release dates and other interesting magazine information.
We do not pretend to be a thorough database (for starters we don't publish the actual contents of magazines), but to reach a better state of completeness we welcome feedback on additional fields and pieces of information that should be tracked. As members submit new issues of magazines to the database we get closer to the ultimate goal of being the de-facto internet magazine archive.
What's in it for me?
Kaastor is aimed at magazine lovers and collectors. The database contents and all the Kaastor features are for you to use. We only charge sellers a very small fee for magazines they sell, which helps us improve the site. Other than that, everything is free.
Here are some of the things you can do:
- Manage your collection online
- Create a wantlist of magazines
- Communicate with other members
- Participate in the User Forum
- Buy and Sell magazines
- Figure out what your collection is worth, based on magazine statistics
Also, if you submit a magazine that does not exist in the database, in the future you may get something in return. Every time that magazine sells in the marketplace, you get a percentage of the sellers fee.
Can I access magazine contents?
Not really. Depending on what users submit, you might be able to read a description of the magazines contents or the main topics that an issue covers. You cannot read the entire magazine from Kaastor, as we do not store that in our database. Kaastor only tracks certain magazine attributes, such as Release Date, Name, Number and lets you upload cover images.
Does Kaastor sell magazines?
We are not an online store, although you can buy magazines from sellers that offer them here. Check out the marketplace section, which has a nice search engine.
What does Kaastor mean?
Nothing.
