Hi,
Are there any way to obtain electronic copies of the Golden Age magazines?
Are there any URL that shows electronic copies of the Golden Age magazines?
I know of some places that have old literature like this
http://atalaya.miwebcristiana.com/atalaya00/atalaya2.htm
... but I never find any place in any language that shows various numbers of the Golden Age.
Thanks in advance.

I think you might be able to get the Golden Shower magazines from http://www.freeminds.org - check the Watchtower Store.
No GA here, but I recently found this website that has all the Russell-era Watch Tower issues online:

It seems that a few years ago, a fellow named Ken Raines in Washington state was preparing CDs of "The Golden Age."
It seems that he has stopped distributing the CDs -- those magazines are so old they are no longer covered by copyright, and anyone who wants to can distribute them, but the CDs prepared by Mr. Raines are protected by copyright law as Mr. Raines' work, so a person who has the CDs cannot just begin reproducing them willy-nilly.. Anyone who wanted to can obtain the original magazines, prepare the scans and sell their own CDs, but it has to be their own work.
Mr. Raines has had some health issues in recent years and does not reply to email - at least, not from people he doesn't already know. It seems he has also not chosen to "pass his cloak" on to any sucessor, unfortunately.
Thanks all for your information.
I didn't find the GA in the FreeMinds Store neither. Seems that we don't have an easy access to these magazines.

Ken Raines site is at:

If you want to save anything at his site, I would do so now.
Already some links are gone, in particular the dinosaurs.html page!
This page is where he quotes the Golden Age as saying "Venus now is as the Earth was before the flood." and "Dinosaurs may now be living happily on Venus."
Also a page still available "Jesus - Electron Man!" is funny. Makes you wonder who in the world was writing the Golden Age!
Jesus Christ: Electron Man!
A brief look at The Golden Age's claim that Jesus healed people by beaming electrons (electronic vibrations) at the sick.
