Summary
Current Publishing was founded in 1998. The company now publishes three titles: Current Archaeology, Current World Archaeology, and Military Times, in addition to several online services dedicated to archaeology, heritage, and sites of historical significance.
Current Publishing was founded by Andrew Selkirk, a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and former Vice-President of the Royal Archaeological Institute, who launched the first magazine, Current Archaeology, in 1967. For its first 40 years, the publication was bi-monthly, becoming a monthly in 2007 up until the present day. Current Archaeology now has over 17,000 subscribers worldwide.[1]
Current World Archaeology was launched in 2003, with an international focus on archaeology from the first emergence of man down to the present day. There are six editions published per year.
Military Times is the latest magazine to be added to Current Publishing’s roster, having launched in October 2010. The title is edited by Neil Faulkner, published in conjunction with the Chelsea Magazine Company.
Media
In addition to the physical publications, Current Publishing has several websites intended to complement the magazines with further information and discussion forums. I Love the Past is a review-driven heritage website, ‘dedicated to viewing and reviewing historic houses, castles, museums and archaeology fieldwork around Britain’.[2]
