PUBLICATIONS
THE NEWFOUNDLAND QUARTERLY
The Newfoundland Quarterly, a literary magazine founded in 1901, is Canada's longest running magazine. Most of the early articles concerned local history, with some poetry, bits of humour, biographies and human interest stories. After 80 years of private publication, it was in danger of shutting down in 1981 when it was purchased by Memorial University of Newfoundland, its current publisher, for the sum of $1. Today it is hailed as "a cultural journal of Newfoundland and Labrador" and publishes articles on the province's culture and history, including biography, local history, book reviews, visual art and poetry.
Bell Island had the distinct honour of being the subject of the first full-length article in its first issue in July 1901. You can now read the article, entitled "Bell Island," on this "Publications" page. Other articles and items related to Bell Island will be added in time.
