Jason Baird Jackson writes in to share some news about developments with the journal Museum Anthropology:

I am the editor (as of late 2005) of Museum Anthropology, the journal of the Council for Museum Anthropology (a AAA section). We have established a companion blog to go along with the journal (http://museumanthropology.blogspot.com/). While this is currently filling the function once served by the print journal’s “Exhibitions Listings” section, we intend to experiment with such things as structured discussions of papers appearing in the journal, the sharing of color (and additional) images associated with articles, and other features that the weblog format enables. …

As of the fall 2005 issue [28(2)] , the journal is again publishing on schedule. My first two issues (volume 29) have seen the addition of a section dedicated to the review of online exhibitions and related forms of new media of interest to museum anthropologists. In general, a larger number of books and exhibitions are being reviewed and the diversity and quantity of contributors is expanding. A significant number of exciting articles on a range of subjects are now in the pipeline.

Because of publication delays, Museum Anthropology, like its peer Visual Anthropology Review, had been moved to the back of the line for full AnthroSource inclusion, but the two journals have gotten caught up and have been moved from the 2008 inclusion group to the 2007 one. Thus, with issue 30(1) in spring 2007, Museum Anthropology will be fully incorporated into AnthroSource. While it will thus not be an open access journal, AnthroSource will at least make Museum Anthropology accessible to a wider audience than its current print-only format. The gap separating the back issues of the journal incorporated into AnthroSource through the Mellon Funded start-up and the next issue (i.e. volumes 27-29) will also be added to AnthroSource soon, as will the missing volumes at the start of the journal’s run (volumes 1-9).
