A magnetic thin film memory wherein the memory is composed of magnetic thin films with a layer of a higher coercive force and a layer of a lower coercive force via a nonmagnetic layer laminated repetitively, or magnetic thin films having the easy magnetization axis which lies between the perpendicular and the horizontal directions of the magnetic thin film, and information is recorded on the layer of a lower coercive force, or information is recorded by changing the direction of the magnetization by means of a magnetic field applied by two recording lines which cross the magnetic thin film, thereby to obtain a sufficient amplitude of reproduction signal even when the size of the memory is reduced.
