Over the past few months many of our IASA colleagues have been diligently preparing a new slate of articles that together will constitute the upcoming IASA Journal Issue 43, which will be delivered to your door in early July.

Following is a preview of the articles that are included in this issue:

The Cost of Inaction: A New Model and Application for Quantifying the Financial and Intellectual Implications of Decisions Regarding Digitization of Physical Audiovisual Media Holdings
[Chris Lacinak, AVPreserve, USA]

Phonographische Zeitschrift (PZ) was published from 1900 to 1938, running to over 34,000 pages in that period. As 'the journal serving the entire music and voice-equipment industry' (its subheading until 1933), the publication is a unique source of information, in text and images, on phonography in the first third of the 20th century.
