Webber was scrupulous in listing all the magazines titles he received. A count of his files reveals that he subscribed to 254 magazines and bulletins. Some of these were acquired through paid subscription (annual or life membership fees), while others were free, possibly exchanges with other rail enthusiasts. Titles range from Electric Traction (Victoria), Walkabout (Melbourne), Signal und Dracht (Germany), British Railway Magazine, and Western Railway Magazine (India), to The Irish Railway Record, Strait Times Annual (Singapore), Ferronales Magazine (Mexico), Nigeria Magazine, The Uganda Journal, Washington Electric Railway Historical Society, Milepost (Illinois), and Union Pacific Bulletin. Here is a small sample of those he acquired.
