We are pleased to announce that nearly all of the back issues of the Journal of Basic Writing are now available (open access) on the journal’s web page hosted by the WAC Clearinghouse (http://wac.colostate.edu/jbw/).

We are deeply indebted to Professor Mike Palmquist and the library staff at Colorado State University for the many hours of painstaking work that went into making the JBW archives readily available online in high-quality, searchable PDFs. Our sincere thanks to all who helped to make this dream a reality.

It is fortuitous that the journal’s archives have become available at a time of renewed interest in Basic Writing as a field of scholarship and teaching as witnessed by the heightened visibility of BW at CCCC 2012 and in the Call for Program Proposals for CCCC 2013.
