Journal

The Journal carries articles on subjects relating to the objectives of the RASSL.

Earlier the journal also carried material relevant only to its members such as details of the Society’s Annual General Meeting and a record of its yearly accounts. These are now published as a separate report for members only.

Special issues are published to mark events.
