AVS has published a Newsletter since 1960, except for the 1965-8 period when Society news was published in JVST. The history of the Newsletters is covered in the e-book “50 Years of AVS”, available on the AVS website. Since 2004, the current Newsletter has been available on the website.

Since the newsletters provide details of the AVS activities and are therefore of historical interest, copies are held in the AVS Archives. To make this information more available, the AVS History Committee undertook a program to provide the information on the website.
