Brown rare-periodicals project awarded grant

PROVIDENCE – The Modernist Journals Project, a joint effort by Brown University and the University of Tulsa, has been awarded a $332,823 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to expand its digital archive of rare periodicals.
The MJP was launched at Brown in 1995 as a Web site of digitized periodicals connected to the rise of modernism in the English-speaking world from 1890 to 1922. The MJP also features digitized versions of Modernist books; biographical sketches of more than 1,000 artists, with images of their work; and a database of nearly 600 English-language periodicals that operated in this period.

The digital archive, at www.modjourn.brown.edu, is managed by the Center for Digital Initiatives in the university’s library. The site receives about 10,000 visits per day.
