CHRESTOLOGIA ARCHIVES
The task of organizing and preserving our past history is ably accomplished by Ivy, our in-house historian and archivist of the ASW aviary. She frequently receives requests for back issues of our customer
newsmagazine Chrestologia, since many of the articles are of continuing
interest to early music performers. Although most earlier issues
are out of print, we do have a limited supply of some of our more
recent issues available for sale. We are able to supply these
back issues at a price of $2.00 each plus a postage charge of
$1.50 for any number of issues ordered at one time. Listed below
are the contents of all issues currently still available.
For those customers wondering why we are no longer able to publish Chrestologia as we did for the twenty-three years prior to its last issue in October of 1998, we offer you the article "Chrestologia To Cease Publication - The Whys and Wherefores" which appeared in that final issue.
