Is there an index of magazine references?

Is there an online index of magazine articles about Traveller?

I searched here on CotI and found a project that S4 started in 2007, but it seemed to be only references from Traveller-only publications like High Passage, etc.

I pulled out a box of old SpaceGamer, Different Worlds, and Dragon magazines last night, looking for a particular article that I remembered, but finding lots of other Traveller articles in the process. I thought of making notes of those articles for future reference, and then naturally thought of sharing the result here on CotI.

I don't want to waste time repeating work someone else has already done, hence my question above. Anybody know?


EDIT: I already tried googling this, but Google interprets "Traveller" as traveler and returns hordes of travel sites.

Kinda. RPGGeek has a pretty comprehensive database of old periodicals and most of them have articles detailed.

You can go to the page for any RPG (i.e. MegaTraveller) and get a list of magazine issues that had articles related to it.

You can go to the page for any particular item (i.e. Book 4 Mercenary) and get a list of related articles (probably rules variants or errata).

You can do a keyword search (i.e. Character Generation) and get a list of articles with this in the description.

You can go to the page for a Setting (Third Imperium, Shattered Imperium) and get a long list that way.

Ah, thanks. I won't bother, then.

Now to go try it out and see if I can find that article I was looking for last night!

I also know the RPGNet index has a good set of these, Thought it may not be as complete as the RPGGeek one.

I'd really love to have the list in the Traveller Wiki too, and there are some attempts to include all the magazines and article lists there.
