Newsletter Archive
We no longer issue newsletters on paper. Our previous paper newsletters, from 2003
to 2016, are archived online and can be downloaded from this page.
We use a mailing list service for short announcements about events, meetings and
publications. From 2013 to 2025 this used the Mailman platform. From 2026 we have
used Sympa for this purpose. Messages are stored in our archive – see
Accessing the Archives below.

increasingly being posted to our Facebook account.

Facebook account.

BCRA
Newsletter, September 2014.
BCRA
Newsletter (postcard), May 2014. This download includes an A5 PDF of the poster (right). This
is a low-resolution file, but it contains embedded vector fonts, so it should scale to A4 or A3
without loss of text quality. If you would like a higher-resolution version (size A4 or A3), or a
hi-res JPG format file, or if you would like to be sent some printed A3 posters, please
contact the secretary.

Accessing the Archives
Mailman Archive (2013–2025)
At the time of writing (see date in footer) our Mailman archive can be found in the
Notices Archives. The server is in
the process of being dismantled in 2026, although we will try to preserve access to the archive.
If you are not already a subscriber to the Mailman Notices list, you will need to contact us to
arrange a subscription.
Sympa Archive (2026–present)
Please visit the list homepage for
information. Access to the archive is restricted to members of the Notices mailing list so, if you
are not a subscriber, you will need to subscribe first – see BCRA
Newsletters for further information.
