I’m delighted to announce that UC Press is launching a new journal, Studies in Late Antiquity. We are particularly interested in publishing interdisciplinary, methodologically innovative, or comparative work engaging the Mediterranean with other parts of the late ancient world. All contributions will be double-blind peer-reviewed, and our format will be entirely online—which will allow us to include a wide range of media, from high density photography to GIS to video. We plan a formal launch at this year’s SBL meeting in San Antonio, and are now commissioning articles to fill the quarterly issues for 2017 and 2018.

Here are some ways to get involved in SLA:

• Submit your papers to SLA. See the attached press release or visit sla.ucpress.edu for more information.
• Recommend SLA to your institution. Give this Library Recommendation Form to your librarian to request that your library pre-order a subscription.
• Sign up for SLA launch updates! For future updates on the inaugural issue, free sample content, and more, sign up for email alerts at sla.ucpress.edu.
