Material Culture Review (French: Revue de la culture matérielle) is a biannual peer-reviewed academic journal of material culture.[1] It is abstracted and indexed in the MLA International Bibliography.[2] The editor-in-chief is Ilaria Battiloro (Mount Allison University).

It was originally established as the Material History Bulletin in 1976 and renamed Material History Review in 1991.[3] [4] Former editor Gerald Pocius said that the journal was "largely the creation of historians, mostly working in museum contexts" at the National Museum of Man.[4] [5] In the mid-1980s, the journal was co-published by the National Museum of Science and Technology, which became the sole publisher in 1990.[6] It became published by the University of Cape Breton in 2006, obtaining its current name.[4] Since 2020 the journal is published by Mount Allison University.[6]
