CFP: Microform and Digitization Review: Preservation and Access Issues for Cultural Heritage Institutions


Beginning with the first issue of 2011, Microform & Imaging Review will have a new name:

Microform and Digitization Review
Preservation and Access Issues for Cultural Heritage Institutions

The new name reflects the true scope of the journal and its audience. Although not peer-reviewed, the journal reaches an international audience, and articles are published soon after submission. Sample articles are available at:
