Hi Hilary,
None of the universities in my part of the USA have access to the
Maney journals of interest: Neither back issues, current
subscriptions nor online. I am an old student (never quit studying!),
now retired. To get the issues, I must subscribe personally. Maney is
willing to sell me online subscriptions to sets of journals at
reduced rate, but this quickly becomes very costly... and still does
not address the problem of back issues. I might as well subscribe to
the paper copy.
I subscribe to Costume and have all back issues (except 1-5, which I
would very much like to get) in my personal library. I have a few
back issues of Textile History, but the subscription is beyond my
budget (or rather books win over journals in priority). I am
seriously considering a subscription to Medieval Archaeology. I
wonder would any of the UK universities with ATHENS consider a (very)
long distant student? <smile>
Take care.
Beth

Further to Wanda's post - below - from the 4th November (sorry -
slowly reading through old messages)
If you're connected with an academic institution in the UK and have
or can get an ATHENS password, you may well be able to access, free,
the online version of Costume through Ingenta Connect, the on-line
site that Wanda mentions.

Usually your friendly uni librarian can arrange an ATHENS password
http://www.athens.ac.uk/ and it's extremely useful for all sorts of
sites, but at the same time amazing how many students aren't told
about this service. there may be an equivalent US service. Then you
can download individual articles in handy PDF form from Costume, and
Textile History which is also highly recommendable, for textile
related articles, conference and book reviews. Then once downloaded
and printed off, who knows where copies could end up? (though I'm not
condoning breach of applicable copyright - reasonable use for
research purposes only!)
Typical - I don't post for years then do two at once....
