Hi friends --
Library History Round Table's scholarly journal, Libraries: Culture, History, and Society (LCHS) is migrating to a new platform, the Scholarly Publishing Collective. Going forward, all issues of the journal will appear on our https://scholarlypublishingcollective.org/psup/libraries. Click or tap if you trust this link." data-linkindex="0">Scholarly Publishing Collective site.
At the present time, you can preview the new site AND access all content free. As part of the site's initial launch and testing, issues of
LCHS will be open access until March 31. After that date, access will revert to the usual subscription terms. Members of LHRT will continue to receive free access as part of their round table membership, so if you're not currently an ALA/LHRT member, now is a great time to

join!
We welcome your thoughts, questions, and concerns, especially concerning accessibility, functionality, and desired enhancements. There will be aspects of the new platform that won't be under our control, but we can and will advocate for improvements as the site launches.
Our hope in sharing our content with you is that you will see the types of material we've published so far and think of us as a potential outlet for future work. We also want to provide a window of opportunity for people who are interested in the history of libraries/librarianship, but can't afford to join LHRT or subscribe to our publication.
Wishing you well --
