Following the sucessful launch of the JRAI Special Issue series in 2006 (the fifth and sixth volumes in the series will appear in 2010 and 2011) the RAI Publications Committee now invites proposals for the Special Issue to appear in 2012.

Details on proposals are available here.

The deadline for proposals is 31 October 2009.

The Centre for Anthropology Library has launched a new service for RAI Fellows. Each month a list of new acquisitions will be compiled and uploaded to the RAI website. The list can be found here. This will enable Fellows to be aware of new material in their field as soon as it has been acquired. Both RAI purchases (available for loan to RAI Fellows) and BM purchases (available for reference) will be listed.

Calling all RAI authors

The Centre for Anthropology Library asks all RAI Fellows who publish books to remember the Library when considering recipients for copies of their work donated by the publisher.

One of the Fellowship benefits is borrowing rights at the Centre for Anthropology Library at the British Museum. In addition to this, we can now offer Fellows online access to the databases subscribed to by the British Museum.

The Royal Anthropological Institute and AQA Awarding Body are pleased to announce that they will work together in to develop an A level qualification in anthropology.
