Greetings!

I just wanted to let interested folks know that starting with Volume 27
(2015), *BEADS: Journal of the Society of Bead Researchers* is being
provided in both a paper as well as a digital version which is available on
the SBR Journal site (http://www.beadresearchjournal.org/).

The current issue contains the following articles:
- Ceramics and Glass Beads as Symbolic Mixed Media in Colonial Native North
America, by Gregory A. Waselkov, David W. Morgan, and Billie Coleman
- A 17th-Century Glass Bead Factory at Hammersmith Embankment, London,
England, by Karlis Karklins, Laure Dussubieux, and Ron G.V. Hancock
- Pipeclay Beads from Norton St Philip, England, by Marek Lewcun
- Beads and Pendants from Sedeinga, Nubia, by Joanna Then-Obłuska
- Elite Dress and Regional Identity: Chimú-Inka Perforated Ornaments from
Samanco, Nepeña Valley, Coastal Peru, by
Benjamin Carter and Matthew Helmer
- From the Past: Indians of U.S. Spurn All Beads Except Italy’s –
Unattributed newspaper article

This may provide some interesting reading, especially for those of you who
may be housebound for the next day or two due to the Monster Storm. Good
luck to all of you on the East Coast!
