You can download old issues of Bricks ‘n Pieces, the UK Lego Club magazine, from Brickset. The one pictured here is the Spring 1983 issue (PDF).
(I have a feeling I still have the patch and the badge somewhere at my parents, but I’m not sure about the magazines.)

“ Everything we put on the Web is both ephemeral and archival — ephemeral in the sense that so much of what we post is only fleetingly relevant, archival in the sense that the things we post tend to stay where we put them so we can find them years later. ”

Scott Rosenberg: Why trust Facebook with the future’s past? (via Phil Gyford).

He goes on to compare the way that older sites - like Flickr - expose an archive, whereas newer ones - like Facebook - don’t, despite the fact that some of the promotional commentary for the Places feature has been about looking back in twenty years. In other words: “Facebook could be such a repository today, if it actually cared about history. It has given no evidence of such concern.”
