Today marks a special milestone for us – the 30th anniversary of the L.M. Montgomery Institute! Officially launched on the 26th of April, 1993, at UPEI, the L.M. Montgomery Institute has been dedicated to celebrating the life and works of Lucy Maud Montgomery. Please visit this link to the programme for the Institutes launch!

We are deeply grateful to the foundational scholars for their dedication and vision, and to the many scholars and enthusiasts worldwide who have contributed their research and insights to the LMMI International Conferences, the Journal of L.M. Montgomery Studies, and numerous academic publications, exhibitions, and events during the past three decades.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to many more years of scholarly inquiry, community engagement, and celebrating Montgomery’s enduring influence!
