The Society's Newsletter was first issued in March 1995, when its editor, Brian Fullagar, anticipated the need for an additional forum for members once the Journal became an annual autumn publication. Its A5 design deliberately echoes that of the Journal in its early format.
The Newsletter is intended to provide an informal means of communication with the membership, and prints short contributions by members and others; their impressions of past events and meetings; reviews; obituaries, and notices of future events. It also includes the Minutes of the Society's Annual General Meeting and the results of the biennial Schools Writing Competition.
Newsletter editors: Brian Fullagar (1995–2010); Rob Wood (2011–13); Robert Walker (2014– )
The Table of Contents for each Newsletter is listed below. Authors and titles are also listed within the Research Centre indexes. Updating the indexes is an ongoing task; while the author index is up to date, the title index, with short abstracts, currently contains the material from Journals nos. 1–38 and Newsletters nos. 1–7.
