About
The print AMS Newsletter was published continuously from 1971 to 2019, a forty-eight year run. Throughout that time, the AMS Newsletter was the main vehicle for keeping AMS members informed about Society activities and for supporting AMS elections and appointments.
In 2019, the print version of the AMS Newsletter was replaced with the email-only AMS e-Newsletter, which is published monthly, and along with the Meeting & Events Bulletin provides regular, real-time updates on Society programs and activities.
Throughout its forty-eight year run, the print AMS Newsletter was published twice yearly, in early winter and late summer. Below are links to archived versions of all published print AMS Newsletters.
