Part of the remit of the School is to provide services that would not be replicated elsewhere in the UK university sector. One example of how SAS-Space can help is the growing collection of scholarly resources for the history and culture of the Caribbean. There are two standard reference works for Commonwealth research from the Institute of Commonwealth Studies: Theses in Progress and the Register of Commonwealth Research.
However, these are complemented by other resources: a collection of articles on West Indian music in the Caribbean and England from an Associate Fellow of the ICwS; and articles on nineteenth and twentieth century history of Cuba from an Associate Fellow and a graduate student of the Institute for the Study of the Americas.

New JISC open journal project
I'm delighted to be able to announce that the JISC have very generously funded us to create an overlay journal interface for SAS-Space.
We'll be creating an overlay journal system based on SAS-Space, with Amicus Curiae as the initial example, using the open source Open Journal Systems. This system will then be made available, at minimal cost, to both other existing and new journals produced within the School, and to publications by cognate learned societies. Such a system will greatly increase open access publishing capacity in the humanities and social sciences, and further fulfil the School’s remit from HEFCE for research promotion and facilitation.
More details on the project blog.

Carmen in Paris
SAS-Space now holds a collection of reviews from the opening nights of Bizet's Carmen at the Paris Opéra Comique, part of the Francophone Music Criticism project, hosted by the Institute of Musical Research.
The collection is based on Lesley Wright's’s Georges Bizet, 'Carmen' - dossier de presse parisienne (1875), 'Critiques de l’Opéra français du XIXe siècle’ 13 (Weinsberg: Lucie Galland, 2001). It was prepared by Isabella Yeager (Smith College) under the direction of Mark Everist (University of Southampton) and was supported by a SAS Dean's Development Fund award. The directors of the network are grateful to Lesley Wright and Karl Leich-Galland for agreement to reproduce parts of this publication.
