The Journal of L.M. Montgomery Studies is the only journal dedicated to L.M. Montgomery (1874–1942). One of the world’s most enduring writers, Montgomery is the author of Anne of Green Gables, among nineteen other novels, as well as hundreds of short stories and poems. She also composed letters, journals, and scrapbooks.

The Journal of L.M. Montgomery Studies is a refereed, open-access digital space. Its mandate is to publish intriguing, highly original, rigorously researched scholarship on all aspects of L.M. Montgomery’s life, influences, creative work, and legacy.

LMMI & JLMMS

The journal’s scope is interdisciplinary and international. The journal is aimed at Montgomery scholars and the broad community of Montgomery enthusiasts. The journal is the official scholarly publication of the L.M. Montgomery Institute (LMMI) at the University of Prince Edward Island. The L.M. Montgomery Institute Management Committee establishes the journal's focus and scope and appoints the editorial board.

The Shining Scroll

The L. M. Montgomery Literary Society was founded in 1991 by Carolyn Strom Collins and Christina Wyss Eriksson in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for the purpose of furthering knowledge of the life and works of L. M. Montgomery. Since then, the Society has grown and flourished with many members participating in Montgomery-related symposia and publications. Their annual e-newsletter, The Shining Scroll, is distributed to Montgomery scholars and fans all over the world and their web presence has thousands of followers. The Scroll has expanded from a simple newsletter of the Literary Society, based in Minnesota, USA, to a highly respected extensive periodical containing original research about the author and her work, information on events and locations connected to the author's life, and new publications. You can read more about the LMMLS as a research hub in the Preface of the 2014 edition of The Fragrance of Sweet-Grass: L.M. Montgomery's Heroines and the Pursuit of Romance by Dr. Elizabeth Rollins Epperly.
Mary Beth Cavert is editor-in-chief of The Shining Scroll and maintains our website and various social media webpages. While not published or edited by the LMMI, many back issues of the newsletter are archived using our KindredSpaces discovery tool.
