Annual Membership Booklet: A yearly Membership Booklet lists all members and their interests such as types of lanterns, slides, literature, kinetic devices and vintage cinema.

The Magic Lantern Gazette publishes original research articles and news items related to the history and culture of the magic lantern, magic lantern collecting, and related topics. Articles can be on the history and use of magic lanterns in any part of the world and can include not only technical articles on magic lantern projection, but also articles on references to magic lanterns in literature, in advertising, and other cultural contexts. Profusely illustrated articles are especially welcome, and it often is possible to include color photographs of slides or magic lanterns on the front and back covers, or on the inside of the back cover. For more information on how to submit articles for publication, contact the Editor, Kentwood D. Wells (kentwood.wells@uconn.edu<mailto:kentwood.wells@uconn.edu>).
