All past issues of Nestor from Emmett Bennett’s first newsletter in February 1957 through the present are now available on the Nestor website at https://classics.uc.edu/nestor/pages/issues. They have attracted some interest for research in the history of the study of Aegean prehistory and especially Linear B because Nestor provided a forum for discussion of controversial issues in the era before email list-serves and social media. I thank assistant editors Nora J. Madrigal and Charlie J. Kocurek for formatting the past issues to make them available.
