Collier’s magazine, founded in 1888 by Peter Fenelon Collier, was initially launched
as Collier’s Once a Week, then changed in 1895 to Collier’s Weekly: An Illustrated Journal, and finally shortened in 1942 to simply Collier’s. The magazine ceased publication with the January 4, 1957 issue, though a brief, failed attempt was
made to revive the Collier’s name with a new magazine in 2012.
