The ULEMHAS Review is a high-quality academic journal, published annually with one supplement. It commissions articles from leading scholars on current trends and research in the History of Art. It also provides book reviews, topical news, and a list of current art exhibitions in the London area. In addition. the Review gives full coverage of the programme of lectures, study days and visits organised by the society, and it offers the Members' Forum - a platform for debate for members. The journal is provided free to members of the society as part of their membership package. Issues may be read online (apart from the most recent) by clicking on a cover image below. The review is also held in the Birkbeck Library, where access to back copies may be obtained.

Review Two is our annual newsletter, issued at the end of each year to members. It features Society news, programme updates, accounts of past events, and often short papers and reviews.

In this issue Claire Andrews describes the founding of the University of London Extra-Mural History of Art Society — ULEMHAS. A decade later, when another funding crisis caused the abolition of the Extra-Mural Department, Birkbeck College took over its Diploma programme, which now flourishes as part of the Faculty of Continuing Education.
