The BSR’s publications reflect the range of its research programmes.

The Papers of the British School at Rome is an internationally-renowned, multi-disciplinary annual journal featuring world-class research both by the BSR and its award-holders and by members of the broader academic community.

Other BSR publications include monographs and collected essays on archaeology, art history, classical studies and history, including material from the BSR collections.

Submissions for publication

Authors and editors intending to submit a volume for consideration for publication by the BSR are encouraged to contact the Chair of Publications in advance, to discuss the suitability of potential submissions. Details of how to submit a proposal can be downloaded here.

Purchasing BSR publications

BSR Members are entitled to a discount (usually 20%) on BSR publications ordered directly from the BSR London office at the British Academy, 10 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AH, or bought in person at the BSR in Rome. Some items can only be ordered from the publisher – see below for a complete list of what we publish and how to get them.

 

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 Editors of the Papers (vol. 85 onwards) are Professor Alison Cooley, Professor Trevor Dean and Professor Aristotle Kallis.
‘Notes to Contributors’ can be found here
