Hi Brewster,
Thanks for the offer!
Perhaps ARSC will take you up on that.
At present ARSC Journal articles, 1967-1995, are available online for free in AMP! (ARSC's Media and Publications Database). ARSC Journal articles, 1996-date, are available online for ARSC members-only in AMP! ARSC Journal articles are also aggregated by five subscription databases with various coverage of back issues.
The AMP! homepage spells out the similar arrangement for ARSC conference sound recordings and slide presentations.
http://www.arsc-audio.org/journal-index/home.php
The publications committee and the online media committee both work on this and have made great progress in improving access to this content. They may be interested in reviewing arrangements if alternatives would better serve the purposes of the association.
Thanks,
Nathan

Are these journals available online for free? If not, we could do scan
these and post them, gratis, as long as ARSC would not object and someone would donate a good version (like this one) to the Internet Archive.
