BIRTH AND PROGRESS OF THE AMIS NEWSLETTER

Copp discusses the 50th anniversary of the American Musical Instrument Society's newsletter. Initially titled "Newsletter of the Historical Musical Society" due to a naming error, it eventually adopted the current name "Newsletter of the American Musical Instrument Society" (NAMIS). The newsletter has gone through numerous editors over the years, each playing a crucial role in soliciting content and maintaining the publication's quality. The newsletter has served as a valuable resource for the society, providing a platform for communication, sharing knowledge, and fostering connections among members. The digital archive ensures the preservation of this historical record.
