This year marks the 75th anniversary of our society’s journal, Renaissance Quarterly. We are celebrating the occasion with several initiatives including a special anniversary issue and a fundraising drive. As scholarly publication venues around the world transition toward open access, the RSA is partnering with Cambridge University Press to develop plans for continuing to maintain the highest standard of excellence for our journal while at the same time exploring new avenues for making publication opportunities accessible to all our members. Please consider making a donation to help offset the rising costs of top-tier scholarly publishing.
We are delighted to announce that we have launched a new RSA website. We updated the site in the hopes of making it easier to read and navigate, in addition to better reflecting our community of scholars. Have a look and let us know what you think.
