Welcome to the MJP Lab Repository on Sourceforge. This is a site where the Modernist Journals Project is making available to the public a sampling of the catalogue and text transcript files for the journals it has digitized. The site is also linked to a new website—The MJP Lab—where we are posting visualizations of MJP data and allowing users to experiment with datasets drawn from our files. The MJP Lab and the Repository on Sourceforge will ultimately supplement the MJP search pages. The files that we are currently making available on this site come from six journals:

• The Egoist: An Individualist Review: all 6 volumes (and 74 issues) from 1914 to 1919
• The Freewoman: A Weekly Feminist Review: both volumes (and 47 issues) from 1911 to 1912
• The Little Review: the first nine years (nine volumes, 73 issues) from 1914 to 1922
• The New Freewoman: An Individualist Review: all 13 issues, from 1913
• Others: A Magazine of the New Verse: all fives volumes (and 26 issues) from 1915 to 1919
• Poetry: A Magazine of Verse: the first 20.5 volumes (and 123 issues) from 1912 through 1922

On the Downloads page, you'll find a folder for each the journals above that contains the following items:

• a zipped folder containing all of the MODS files for the journal. These are xml files that contain, issue by issue, the catalogue information that the MJP staff has composed about the contents of the magazine; the MOD files provide the basis for metadata searching on the MJP website.
• a zipped folder containing all of TEI text transcripts for the journal. These are xml files that contain the OCRed text transcripts (which we've only slightly marked up in TEI) of individual issues of the journal; the TEI files provide the basis for full-text searching on the MJP website.
• three .txt datasets that we've derived from the MODS files for the journal. These datasets offer very accessible versions of the information that appears in the MODS files. For more information about these datasets, click here.
