Back issues

From Issue 46 to Issue 82, CULIB was produced in two formats: PDF for print distribution (in a booklet format) and HTML (enhanced with images) for the web. HTML versions of issues 46 - 82 and pdf versions of the print issues were hosted on our old website which is no longer available. We have uploaded the PDF for print distribution files below where still available. We have also linked to the HTML versions where these have been archived on the Wayback Machine. If you wish to access any back issues that are not linked to below, please contact the editors.

From Issue 83 to 85, CULIB was published in two PDF versions: PDF (print layout - in a booklet format) and PDF with images for the web. Both versions were added to this website. 

From Issue 86 there is a single PDF version online and no print distribution.
