The Broadway Journal is the only periodical over which Poe ever managed to secure complete editorial control. Unfortunately, it was so mired under financial problems that he was unable to keep it running.
A full set of images of the Broadway Journal, with TEI marked text and a good listing of the various authors and contributors, is a special project of LSU: https://broadway.dsl.lsu.edu

The Broadway Journal was issued every Saturday. Each issue contained 16 pages, without a wrappers, loosely classified as a large royal octavo. Although most surviving copies were accumulated into full volumes, and rebound in cloth or leather, some isolated issues appear never to have been bound or part of a set. Trimmed page size: 11 1/4 inches high x 7 3/4 wide. Untrimmed page size: 11 1/2 inches wide x 8 inches high.
AMS Press printed a facsimile edition, in 2 volumes, in 1965. The facsimile matches the original fairly closely in width, but is slightly reduced in height.

There are many copies of individual issues the Broadway Journal, and several complete or nearly complete sets. (Circulation problems with the January 3, 1846 number have left many sets lacking this final issue.) A few copies are worthy of particular note:
