Welcome to Volume 2, Issue 1 of The Journal Box.

For the past several years TWVRPS has been publishing a yearly newsletter that contains short descriptions of developments related to the society's mission, and also provides references for further reading. Formerly known as The Back Shop, we have since changed our name to The Journal Box. Below are archived materials of previous Newsletters.

We are always looking for additional content to add to our newsletter. If you are interested in submitting content, please contact newsletter@twvrps.org.
