Website This site is one of the main outputs.  It has been created by the Enhanced Web Development Service, University of Strathclyde, and content has been designed primarily by Cristina Judge. Digitised magazine materials Sample issues and pages are available on this site (see the ‘Magazines’ menu) and additional material is available from the CWRC repository. Cataloguing We have catalogued the full content for selected years of Mayfair and La Revue Moderne. This data, derived from the magazines’ tables of contents, is searchable via this link: http://search.middlebrowcanada.org/ms-en/ It has also been deposited with CWRC: the Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory, based at the University of Alberta.  Our project is one of CWRC’s pilot projects.
