Further to this @thetls.bsky.social essay about Una Marson's early work as a publisher, the full run of Marson's 1920s/1930s magazine, The Cosmopolitan, is now freely available on the Digital Library of the Caribbean (@dlocaribbean.bsky.social): www.dloc.com/AA00114844/0...

Thanks for thinking of us! Please email us at dloc@uflib.ufl.edu and we will be happy to help out.

I am hugely excited to be teaming up once again with my longstanding partner in crime Dr M. Stephanie Chancy at @dlocaribbean.bsky.social, along with the wonderful folks at the Hastings Museum, the Eccles Institute, the Museo Enrico Caffi, George A Smathers Libraries and MUPANAH.

Thanks for the shoutout! 🤗

This piece emerges from my recent digitisation of the magazine (with funding from @uoe-llc.bsky.social ‬& with thanks to Melissa Jerome of the University of Florida). The full run (!!) will soon be freely available via the wonderful @dlocaribbean.bsky.social - I'll share the link here when it's up.
