This being my third full issue as IASA editor, I am continually inspired by the broad and important work being done throughout the world by IASA members and allies to enrich the historical record, to ensure access to and preservation of our shared audiovisual heritage, and to empower and enable others to join in the effort. The IASA Journal offers a unique opportunity for authors to share their work today, to receive comments from and begin conversations with colleagues worldwide, and to leave a coherent record of the legacy of IASA so that future IASA members and allies will know where we were, what we have accomplished, and what we still need to improve.

So, thanks to these authors for yet another fantastic IASA Journal.

I look forward to delivering the hard copy to all IASA members and subscribers' doors in the upcoming weeks.

Sincerely, and all my best --

Bert
