Dear colleagues,
 
On behalf of the Society for American Archaeology, I am pleased to announce the debut of Current Research Online!
 
"Current Research," a news section in American Antiquity established in 1962, has transitioned to an online format after many years of planning and discussion. Similar to the intent of the original journal section, the mission of Current Research Online (CRO) is to bring greater awareness of current field, lab, and collections work being conducted by archaeologists around the world in a timely, clear, and concise manner that is accessible to archaeologists and the public through the Society of American Archaeology web portal. CRO aims to become a comprehensive, online, database driven search application for global archaeological research, updated semi-annually, with an attractive, easy-to-use, and interactive user interface offering professional quality reporting output.
 
The online relational database management system currently in place allows for various management operations, including submissions, review by regional coordinators, data storage, text and spatial (via Google Earth) search functions (via a MySQL database), and formatted output (as Adobe Acrobat PDF files), among other tools. In the database, entries are currently organized among 20 world regions, each with a Regional Coordinator to manage submissions.
 
I invite you to visit the website to learn more, and to contact your Regional Coordinator to share your research with the world. While submissions to CRO are a privilege of SAA membership, the resource is open to the public to search. We welcome both professionals and students in all settings. I look forward to seeing your research on SAA Current Research Online!
 
Sincerely,
 
E. Christian Wells, Ph.D.
Global Coordinator, Current Research Online Society for American Archaeology
