The 1948 President of the Association rightly if wryly said: “Our members' interest in research does not extend to PMLA.” There are indexes to PMLA (one for 1884-1935 was published in 1936), but we strongly suspect that most scholars eventually discover references to learned articles of interest to them by reading bibliographies or critical lists or somebody's footnotes. The parts of PMLA that get forgotten, or are hard to find again, or remain unfortunately unknown to the hundreds of new persons who join the Association each year, are the scattered bits of useful information, the special reports, the surveys, the stimulating addresses (presidential or otherwise), the commissioned articles, the recommendations, the rules and regulations.
