Internet Resources for the Study of Modernist Journals

This is a highly selective list of active sites. If you know of a site that you think should be added to the list, please let us know and we will check it out.

CONRAD FIRST: THE JOSEPH CONRAD PERIODICAL ARCHIVE

  • Described as “an open-access archive of the serials which first published the work of Joseph Conrad,” Stephen Donovan’s web resource, at Uppsala University, Sweden, presents Conrad’s serial publications in the context of the full magazine in which they first appeared, along with some background info about those magazines and Conrad’s involvement with them. The site is invaluable to Conrad scholars, and important to anyone with an interest in modernism and magazines.

EVERY WEEK MAGAZINE

  • “Every Week Magazine, published from 1915-1918, was a significant magazine phenomenon of its day, with a weekly circulation of 600,000 copies. The contents provide a rich cultural resource for those interested in the World War I home front, popular fiction, advertising, and constructions of race and gender during this period.”

GOOGLE BOOKS

  • Offers a dizzying array of magazines, including a full run of Life Magazine, from 1936-1972, though finding what you’re looking for here can often be difficult.

THE INTERNATIONAL DADA ARCHIVE

In addition to alerting readers about conferences, calls-for-papers, new publications, and other periodical studies news, Magazine Modernisms provides a forum for opinion, commentary, collaboration, query, and debate. One of our main aims is to inform readers about new and little-known digital resources for the study of periodicals.”
