''Allers'' magazine is distributed in Norway and Sweden for the mature female market group. It traces its origins from the Danish weekly ''Illustreret Familie-Journal'', founded in 1877 by Carl Aller.<ref>{{cite book|author1=Oskar Bandle|author2=Kurt Braunmuller|author3=Ernst-Hakon Jahr|author4=Allan Karker |author5=Hans-Peter Naumann|author6=Ulf Teleman|title=The Nordic Languages 2: An International Handbook of the History of the North Germanic Languages|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6b7WwBC5tRAC&pg=PA1487|access-date=24 November 2014|year=2005|publisher=Walter de Gruyter|isbn=978-3-11-017149-5|page=1487}}</ref> In 1894 it moved base to Helsingborg and changed its name to the ''Allers Family-Journal''. In 1959 the name was changed to ''Allers Family Journal'', which in 1968 was shortened to ''Allers''. The original magazine was a pioneer in including crosswords and cartoons in magazines in Sweden. ''Allers'' is the oldest magazine still in circulation in Norway where it has been published since 1897.
