MLA publications, 1960-2017
Record Group VIII contains final copies of serial publications and long-running series by the MLA and the records of publication editors. The titles in this record group are not produced by specific committees, although the MLA newsletter first began as a publication of the Publicity Committee. The Basic Manual Series, Index and Bibliography Series, and Technical Reports have been available for sale from multiple publishers over time, with early issues out of print. The Music Cataloguing Bulletin is available by paid subscription and is a collaboration between MLA and the Library of Congress Music Division. The MLA Newsletter is distributed for free to MLA members. Titles in this record group exist in print and electronic formats. The Board of Directors appoints the editors of these publications and editors serve as ex-officio members of the MLA Publications Committee.
