With the generous time and effort of the staff of the Douglas & Judith Krupp Library at Bryant University, the archives of the printed issues of the RILA Bulletin going back to 1923 have been included with the Digital Common archive, which collects local materials as part of a statewide digital preservation project pooling publications from public, academic, and private libraries.
