The Archaeology Data Service is pleased to announce the
opening of its Digital Library.

Already on the shelves you will find:

- the first 22 volumes in the Council for British Arhcaeology's Research
Report series, held in PDF format, including such important titles as
"The Iron Age in the Irish Sea Province" edited by Charles Thomas,
Philip Rahtz's "Excavations at St Mary's Church Deerhurst", Richard
Reece's edited volume on "Burial in the Roman World", and many, many
more. These volumes have been out of print for years although many are
still key books on reading lists. Now they are available to all on-line.

- the first 15 volumes in the CBA's Occasional Papers series, again as
PDF files. This series includes seminal titles in the history of British
Archaeology, such as The Erosion of History.

Both series have been digitised by HEDS as part of the JISC's fast-track
digitisation programme. All  volumes up to 1996 have been scanned in
their entirety, including illustrations and microfiche, and are going to
be made available by the CBA in stages, in association with the ADS.
More details of the Research Report series can be found at the CBA web
site at http://www.britarch.ac.uk/. Try the first digital volumes out
now and let us know what you think.


- Also in the ADS Library you will find a comprehensive index to
archaeological electronic journals, plus an on-line report on
excavations in Cyprus, publications about NERC's Ancient Biomolecules
Initiatives and, in the bibliographies section, old favourites including
the British and Irish Archaeological Bibliography.

In our Library the books you want are never out, and there is plenty of
room on the shelves for more. If you are publishing digitally then lodge
an archive copy with the ADS.

To visit the ADS Library point your web browser at

digital publication email info at ads.ahds.ac.uk
