Modern Literature & Culture Research Centre & Gallery

Welcome to the MLC Research Centre & Gallery


Established in 2005, our mandate is to research the literary and cultural production in the modernist era (from 1880 to 1945), to preserve and advance modernist women’s heritage and to promote modern Canadian heritage within an international context, with a current focus on World War 1. We advance our studies and outreach through digital culture innovations.​
