Periodicals Service Company & Schmidt Periodicals GmbH

We believe we offer the most comprehensive back volume service in the world, fulfilling our clients' orders from:

Our reprint division

This includes PSC, Schmidt, Swets, Johnson and Kraus Reprint and has many important and long out-of-print publications. Our high quality reprints on acid-free paper are frequently considered more suitable for general use than original editions.

Publishers' original backstock

We have signed backset stock management and/or reprint agreements with many major publishers and hold a large part of their original back volumes. To view a selective list of these publishers and the stock we hold for them, click here.

Our antiquarian backsets

These range from very rare periodicals to more recently published journals.

Our worldwide search service

In cases where we receive an inquiry for back volumes and back issues that we do not hold in stock, we will happily check all possible sources, on request.
