Magazine

The Association’s magazine, The Deben, is published in spring and autumn each year and is posted to all current members of the Association.

Previous editions of recent magazines are available using the links below. A complete set of magazines is available to view in Woodbridge Library.

We are currently in the process of indexing our back catalogue – for more about this, and motivation for why you might be interested in reading through some of it, see these articles on the RDA Journal:

  1. Once Upon a Time…
  2. News from the Noughties, Part I
  3. News from the Noughties, Part II
