Modernist Journals Project

CDS Project

A digital research collection focusing on Modernist journals and magazines, together with essays, introductions, and biographical sketches.

The Modernist Journals Project publishes fully searchable online editions of the English-language journals and magazines that were important in shaping the modes of literature and art that came to be called "modernist". Focusing on materials from 1890-1922, this collection is a crucial research tool and point of access to these often rare materials. First begun in 1995 at Brown University, the project is now supported at Brown and the University of Tulsa. The growing collection of materials now includes The New Age, Blast, Poetry, and The English Review, together with supporting materials such as essays on contributors, historical introductions, and biographical sketches.

STG worked with the MJP staff to develop encoding and metadata specifications for the digitized source materials, and in 2006 contributed to the design and implementation of a new user interface. CDS provides ongoing support for the project's data and publication infrastructure.

The CDI worked with the MJP staff to digitize all the periodicals and to develop metadata specifications. All MJP journals are stored in Brown's digital repository, and accessed from there by the MJP website.

In 2009, the MJP infrastructure was rewritten by the CDI to take advantage of the SOLR indexing engine, in order to increase efficiency. CDS provides ongoing consulting to the MJP as needed.

Modernist Journals Project is a project of Modern Culture and Media
