Do magazines need permission from all the original contributors to

As a rule, the magazines themselves did not do the microfilming. That was handled by a 3rd party and sold to libraries. So it wasn't the magazines re-using the material. University Microfilms, in Ann Arbor, did a lot of the microfilming. I don't know whether they paid any sort of licensing fees to the magazines but I doubt it. I think it was probably considered simply a replacement for the paper copy.
