Q. I am interested in looking at the Riverfront Times (RFT) archive, do you happen to have them?

You can access issues 1998 - 2024 online at https://web.archive.org/web/20240520015339/https://www.riverfronttimes.com/stlouis/IssueArchives via the wayback machine from Internet Archive. There is no log-on required. 

• note, the original site https://www.riverfronttimes.com/stlouis/IssueArchives as of December 2025 no longer displays that content. 

The paper copy of issues December 1977 - 2013 were donated to Washington University Libraries.  A listing of which volumes and issues is now online: https://aspace.library.washu.edu/repositories/11/resources/1112

There is no searchable index for issues on paper. 

If you know a specific month and year you are interested in, you can make an advance appointment to consult the issues in Special Collections at Olin Library.  Please contact us 3 business-days in advance of your preferred date. 

Or you can request an article or issue be digitized for a small fee (takes 4-6 weeks depending on request volume). 

To make an appointment, or request a copy see: Special Collections: How-To Research & Access
