Can anyone tell me (or provide a link) if Ring Magazine has a dedicated archive?

I am writing about race in boxing as it was reported in the magazine since it first edition, and I have a digital subscription, but I can't find an archive that it searchable by edition/fighter/year etc, etc.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Since Ebony/Jet had digitalized their entire library, why couldn't Ring Mag do the same? I suggested that for anyone who takes out a subscription, they immediately gain access to the library. I mean, it sounds like a win-win doesn't it? Their subscription orders would go through the roof and we would not only receive the magazine but access to every magazine since its inception. Whether he was just too lazy to consider it or miffed that it wasn't his idea, I don't know. He sent me some BS reply that it couldn't be done at this time. I just looked at it and said, 'Whatever!' But I'm glad others like you guys have the interest in something like this.

Wonder why they had to mentioned the Colored part......probably because of the times but still doesn't make sense to me....in fact it's kind of racist they did, isn't it??

It was 1934, racism was rife, they had coloured championship fights too.

A main theme about it was how Black and White Boxers had been ranked back in the 1950's.

I don't know if it might help but you could go on the Boxrec wiki encyclopedia page and find all of the Ring magazine covers which are shown there. Maybe the covers might reveal a relevant headline or a story within the particular issues.
I was quite interested to see that currently listed on ebay.com is a 1934 Ceferino Garcia poster that shows on the undercard a fight billed as 'Gene O'Grady - White, Salinas vs. Ralph Norwood - Colored (sic), Los Angeles.'
