The Archivio Storico Ricordi preserves the magazines published by Casa Ricordi during its activity. The Gazzetta Musicale di Milano, Casa Ricordi’s first periodical, began publication in 1842.

Many other publishing initiatives were added to the Gazzetta: Rivista Minima (1871-1878), Musica e Musicisti (1902-1905), Ars et Labor (1906-1912), Musica d’Oggi (1919-1942 and 1958-1965) and Ricordiana (1951-1957). The Arhive also preserves: one issue of the Biblioteca Illustrata della Gazzetta Musicale di Milano (No. 3/1888), containing some illustrated stories by Alfredo Montalti; the first edition of July 10, 1864 and the volume of the year 1865 of the Giornale della Società del Quartetto; the volumes for 1847 and from 1850 to 1859 of the magazine Italia Musicale, published by Lucca. The online publication of these journals - the related sharing on Wikisource - are an on going process, updates will be progressively published.
