Thompson's Lane was originally known as Harlestone's Lane.

Original series ran from 1909 to 1956 and then a new numbering series started with No. 1 being 1956-1957.

The original series contained mainly articles, poems, and stories from undergraduates. It was printed at the expense of the Amalgamation Club and was circulated only to residents members and a few subscribers.
From 1952-1956 the Magdalene College Record was printed from the Magazine and sent to all members of the College Association.
In 1956 in view of the Appeal for Endowment the Record was sent to every old member.
Future issues would only be sent to members of the College Association and to those who had subscribed to the Appeal.

The old Magazine was discontinued mainly on the grounds of expense. It was hoped that in its new and reduced form it would still contain articles, serious and light, on things which interested Magdalene men. The Editor invited contributions and news from all members of the College. The Period covered by the Record was from 1 September to 31 August.

From 1781 to 1971 there was a series of Order Books which contained a record of the 'Order' of the Governing Body. They were written during the Governing Body Meetings and signed by the Fellows at the end of the meeting.
From 1911 onwards a separate series of Minute Books was kept to record discussions and decisions of the Governing Body.

At a meeting on 18 February 1971 the Governing Body agreed that extracts from the Minutes would no longer be pasted into the Order Books. They were then used to record the appointment of Fellows, Honorary Fellows, Masters, and Scholars.

For the previous Order Book containing appointments from 1971-1979 see MCGB/4/2/3.
