About

Material Culture Review/Revue de la culture matérielle (MCR/RCM) is Canada's only scholarly journal dedicated to the study of material culture. MCR/RCM provides a venue for refereed articles and research reports encompassing a range of approaches to interpreting culture and history through an analysis of people's relationships to their material world. In addition to peer-reviewed articles and research reports, MCR/RCM publishes other high quality academic work including research notes, exhibition reviews, book reviews and book review essays.

Material Culture Review/Revue de la culture matérielle invites submissions of new research on material culture and its related topics from the fields of cultural history, public history, art history, cultural geography, folklore and/or ethnology, archaeology, anthropology, architecture, and museum, conservation and heritage studies. The editors encourage submissions from scholars at any phase of their career, curators and professionals from the museum and heritage world, and from independent scholars with an interest in material culture. Papers may be submitted in English or French languages.

MCR is published twice annually by Cape Breton University Press in Sydney, Nova Scotia.
