It is my distinct pleasure to announce that Dr Tim Murray (Head, School of Historical and European Studies, LaTrobe University, Australia) will take up the reins of the Bulletin of the History of Archaeology (BHA) as its new editor in 2003 beginning with Volume 13 (Numbers 1 and 2). Dr Murray will bring a new and fresh approach to the mission of the BHA - the continuation of the BHA as a forum to exchange ideas, work, and resource materials relating to the history of archeol­ogy. Dr Murray will be in communication with BHA subscribers in this section of the November issue (12[2]) to begin the formal transition of the editorship.
