Falkland Islands Magazine
The Falkland Islands Magazine (from 1908, the Falkland Islands Magazine and Church Paper), was a monthly periodical published in the Falkland Islands between 1889 and 1933. It was the first regular publication in the islands.
The Magazine was established in 1889 by , then the Colonial Chaplain to the Falkland Islands, and later Dean of Christ Church Cathedral.[1] It was published monthly, and contained a wide range of material, including local news and personal announcements, as well as commercial advertisements, shipping notices, and church bulletins.[2] The Rev Rev. C. McDonald Hobley wrote that, "The entire work is produced at “the Cathedral Press ” by the local Cathedral Clergy, aided by two of their girl Choristers."[3]
Notable issues include:

July 1916, No. III, Vol. XXVIII - report "The Antarctic Expedition" re to Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1914–1917 and the loss of the Endurance, it was written after his arrival at Stanley and before rescue attempts were successful.
