An ever-expanding archive Back issues of Mass of Ages are being digitised
I
f you’re reading this, then you have the winter copy of Mass of Ages at your fingertips! But what about the autumn issue? Or copies from this time last year? At the LMS Office in Macklin Street, we have an archive of past Mass of Ages going right-back to the early Newsletters of the Society, but unless we’re much mistaken, you don’t have a similar archive in your walk-in library. Please do tell us if you have! To enable you to access back copies, we are in the process of converting all our magazine articles from times-past into a digital format that can be searched through the website. In time, we hope this will form an invaluable resource to those who are interested in the history of the Old Rite in this country.
WINTER 2020
Mass of Ages is also available as a downloadable PDF and as a digital magazine on the issuu.com publishing platform. Members of the Society have FREE access to a digital copy of the magazine, with copies available to non-members for a small fee. These can easily be viewed on your phone, tablet or computer through the Issuu website or app: just follow the direct links through the LMS member area of the website to view your copy today. The archive of available issues is continually expanding. We would love to make Mass of Ages more widely available to our many supporters across the world, but international postage costs make this very difficult. If you have family and friends abroad who would
appreciate the magazine, please do encourage them to join and they will receive the free digital copy but, if they wish to have a printed issue each quarter, they are asked to pay a little bit more for postage. In line with the Committee’s strategy in 2016 to increase subscriptions over a period of time, the new rates (as detailed on the back cover of this magazine) come into effect in January. We hope the small increase will not deter you from renewing your membership. Society’s 2020 Annual The General Meeting was cancelled due to the pandemic. We include with this magazine to members a copy of the balance sheet from the 2019 Accounts.
