Does anyone happen to know of a digital resource devoted to indexing print advertisements (either European or Western ads would be fine)? I’m in the process of attempting to track down advertisements for (Product)RED and not sure where to look. Worst case scenario, I imagine I’ll be heading down to the reference library and flipping through arbitrary magazines, but this seems like a somewhat poorly conceived and ineffective strategy. What I would prefer to do is find an index that I can type “product red” into and come up with a list of magazines with those ads. Alternatively, if anyone here happens to know of particular periodicals with (Product)Red ads, that could be very helpful too (just let me know the magazine and date).

cheers.
