Full information will be available (on the website, in emails sent to current members) on or about Jan. 1. For 2016, members will choose online-only vs. online-plus-print access to the Journal, and fees will be payable in GBP. Online-only: £26 Full /£13 Student (a reduction from the 2015 rates); online-plus-print: £46 Full /£33 Student (an increase from the 2015 rates). Current life members will continue to have both kinds of access without charge. Members wanting the April 2016 issue in print must renew/join by 21 February.

The ISCA Special Interest Group (SIG) on the history of Speech Communication Sciences (SIG-HIST, http://www.isca-speech.org/iscaweb/index.php/sigs?layout=edit&id=128), which is co-sponsored by the IPA, held the First International Workshop on the History of Speech Communication Research in Dresden on Sept. 4-5, 2015 (http://www.isca-speech.org/archive/hscr_2015/). SIG-HIST invites speech communication laboratories to send them pictures, audio files and video clips of historical instruments with a short description to be put on the SIG's website at http://www.sig-hist.org. The plan is to set up and maintain a kind of "virtual museum". IPA members are encouraged to participate.
