The Papers of the British School at Rome exists to publish work related to the archaeology, history and literature of Italy and other parts of the Mediterranean area up to modern times, both by the staff of the BSR and its present and former members, and by members of the academic community engaged in top-quality research in any of these fields.

Contributions are expected to be written in such a way as to be intelligible and appeal to the broad interdisciplinary readership of the journal, while also presenting original, cutting-edge research in the individual specialist fields.

The Papers is edited by the Faculty of Archaeology, History and Letters of the Council of the BSR, and is a refereed journal.

Since vol. 79 (2011) PBSR has been published by Cambridge University Press (in print and online) on behalf of the BSR. Content is available via the Cambridge Journals online platform. Articles can be found on FirstView as they become available, with the full volume published in early October.

Visit the PBSR homepage here.
The Editor of the Papers (vol. 93 onwards) is Professor Florian Mussgnug. For more information, contact Courtney Quaintance
‘Notes to Contributors’ can be found here

In 2024 the BSR is delighted to launch a new archaeology monograph series with the leading academic publishers Archaeopress. Current volumes in preparation include a series arising from the ERC-funded Rome Transformed Project as well as a collection of papers in memory of Professor Simon Keay. Details of the Open Access publications will be posted here. Please contact the Series Editor, BSR Archaeology Manager Stephen Kay, with any enquiries.

British School at Rome Studies builds on the prestigious and long-standing Monographs series of the British School at Rome.

It publishes volumes on topics that cover the full range of the history, archaeology and art history of the Western Mediterranean both by the staff of the BSR and its present and former members, and by members of the academic community engaged in top-quality research in any of these fields.
