BMCR 2009.04.06: Editorial Note

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2009.04.06
-------------------------------

Editorial Note.

Editors Richard Hamilton, James J. O'Donnell, Camilla MacKay

Gentle readers,

Bryn Mawr Classical Review is moving -- to Bryn Mawr. Since our inception in late 1990, we have been hosted on the server of the Center for Computer Analysis of Texts at the University of Pennsylvania. There are many reasons for that persistence. One of us was then at Penn, the CCAT founded by Bob Kraft was already a leader in humanities computing, and since then inertia, respect for readers' habits, and the very kind generosity of Penn humanities computing have all made it simple to stay as we were. The time has come now to move homes, with the journal coming to reside fully within the College whose extraordinary tradition in Classics gave it birth.

The senior editors are grateful to our colleagues at Penn, most notably in recent years Warren Petrofsky and Jay Treat, but going back many years to others, including Bob Kraft and the late Jack Abercrombie and the inimitable Ira Winston, and others whom we are sorry not to be able to catalog comprehensively here.

Links to the old addresses will "resolve" (as they say) to the new site, but of course there will be some hiccups in finding familiar material. This is an opportune moment to say that there are other sites from time to time that seem to take it upon themselves to archive BMCR postings. Go now, then, to have a look at http://bmcr.brynmawr.edu to see the new site and make sure you can recognize the real thing. Many readers will also want to bookmark our blog site, where new reviews are posted and comments encouraged/welcomed/posted. The URL there is http://www.bmcreview.org.

With best wishes,

Gentle readers,

Bryn Mawr Classical Review is moving -- to Bryn Mawr.  Since our
inception in late 1990, we have been hosted on the server of the Center
for Computer Analysis of Texts at the University of Pennsylvania.
There are many reasons for that persistence.  One of us was then at
Penn, the CCAT founded by Bob Kraft was already a leader in humanities
computing, and since then inertia, respect for readers' habits, and the
very kind generosity of Penn humanities computing have all made it
simple to stay as we were.  The time has come now to move homes, with
the journal coming to reside fully within the College whose
extraordinary tradition in Classics gave it birth.

The senior editors are grateful to our colleagues at Penn, most notably
in recent years Warren Petrofsky and Jay Treat, but going back many
years to others, including Bob Kraft and the late Jack Abercrombie and
the inimitable Ira Winston, and others whom we are sorry not to be able
to catalog comprehensively here.

Links to the old addresses will "resolve" (as they say) to the new
site, but of course there will be some hiccups in finding familiar
material.  This is an opportune moment to say that there are other
sites from time to time that seem to take it upon themselves to archive
BMCR postings.  Go now, then, to have a look at
http://bmcr.brynmawr.edu (http://bmcr.brynmawr.edu)  to see the new
site and make sure you can recognize the real thing.  Many readers will
