*Press Release*Complete Digital Archive of *HerbalGram *Issues Now Available

AUSTIN, Texas (July 13, 2016) —The American Botanical Council (ABC) is
excited to announce that every issue of *HerbalGram*, the nonprofit’s
quarterly, peer-reviewed journal, is now available online
<http://abc.herbalgram.org/site/R?i=hp_sphmlvS6Us4s_vcWxdw>. Going
back to issue
1 <http://abc.herbalgram.org/site/R?i=Jwb1eoVgCW_oDmEJ8JQ3uQ> from the
summer of 1983, the newly updated archive includes 21 issues that have
never been available in a digital format. The complete *HerbalGram* collection
is available to ABC members at all levels.

All 110 issues of *HerbalGram* are now available as PDF files. Previously,
only issues 85 through the latest issue
<http://abc.herbalgram.org/site/R?i=Yuxl0FI2kJY1b5lOIjezEg> were available
in this format. The first 21 issues are available as PDF files only, while
all subsequent issues also include HTML versions of individual articles.
Issues 93 through the current issue are also available in a “page-flip”
version, a reader-friendly format that was added to the ABC website in 2012

Hard copies of the previously unavailable back issues were shipped to the
San Jose, California-based tech company 1DollarScan, where they were
scanned and digitized. ABC Art Director Matthew Magruder then went through
the process of cleaning up the PDFs, resizing them to make them more
web-friendly, and uploading them to the website.

“Through the process of prepping and digitizing, I really enjoyed getting a
chance to look through the extensive back catalog, and am quite pleased
that we can offer our members the complete *HerbalGram* archive,” said
Magruder.

A subscription to *HerbalGram* is included with all ABC memberships. Find
