Established in 1922,
The Elks Magazine serves as the official publication of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, acting as a vital link between the national organization and its hundreds of thousands of members.
During its early decades, the magazine was renowned for its high production value, featuring sophisticated cover art by legendary illustrators and editorial content that spanned from fraternal news to short stories by prominent American authors.
Today, it continues to chronicle the charitable missions of the Elks, ranging from veterans' services to youth programs, while offering a nostalgic yet functional glimpse into the civic-minded spirit of American community life. Its vast archives remain a treasure trove for historians interested in 20th-century fraternal culture and the evolution of American social values.
