Further to Jennie Collinson's message: those with a commitment to open access in archaeology will be excited (as I was myself) to hear that plans to publish the back issues of the journal Post Medieval Archaeology for free - with a rolling wall - through the University of York's Archaeology Data Service are at an advanced stage. 

Many members of SPMA Council have, over many years, have worked very hard to make that happen - and the international community in historical archaeology will be indebted to them when this is achieved. 

I imagine that an official announcement of this excellent initiative (an approach pioneered by the SHA of course) will be posted to this list by SPMA Council in due course.

Subject: Complete archive of Post-Medieval Archaeology now online

Post-Medieval Archaeology has been fully retrodigitised and is now online from Volume 1, 1967

Post-Medieval Archaeology is the official journal of the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology. It is devoted to the study of the material evidence of European society wherever it is found in the world. This fascinating period saw the transition from medieval to industrial society, the foundation of the modern European world on new Renaissance and Reformation values, the shift from collective to individual mentalities, increasing social segregation, new notions of privacy, family, gender and space, global expansion, and revolutions in the modes and scales of production.
