RMN Newsletter is a bi-annual multidisciplinary international open-access journal of the Retrospective Methods Network published by Folklore Studies of the University of Helsinki.  RMN Newsletter offers an informational resource and emergent discourse space, publishing short discussion-oriented articles, research reports, announcements and descriptions of projects ongoing or recently completed as well as of the activities of academic faculties, institutions and organizations.  The unifying theme of the journal is 'retrospecitve methods', a general designation for methods relevant to considering any aspect of 
culture in one period through evidence from another, later period, or to considering any cultural phenomenon in an earlier period that is only 
accessible through limited sources.  'Retrospective methods' is therefore a category that interfaces laterally across different disciplines and  facilitates cross-disciplinary negotiation within that category.  Please visit our website at:
