I am happy to report that SOAR 1, the journal of the Society of Americanists, is now live on the web! The inaugural theme is “assessing American Studies.” You can view it in pdf at https://journals.psu.edu/soar/index or in online journal form at: https://issuu.com/soar-journal (which is also where we are offering on-demand printing of bound journals). It is open access.
