Do you need an older issue?

The ITA website is in the process of adding a complete indexed listing of all past ITA Journals - also all Journals will be made available online to members. Publication is expected before the end of 2011. If you want to find out what the online Journal looks like, please visit the test page.
You can also order paper back issues by mailing in the back issue order form.

Longtime ITA members frequently comment and offer compliments about the evolution of the organization's printed materials over the years. On the occasion of ITA's 40th anniversary, it seems appropriate to retrace this evolution and acknowledge those who helped bring us to our "slick" Journal of today.

The ITA Journal has been in production since 1971 with a series of newsletters printed from 1973 to 1980. Published quarterly since 1982, it is edited by Diane Drexler and includes scholarly articles, trombone news, job announcements, and literature and record reviews.

The ITA will be releasing past Journal articles online. This will be a vast undertaking, but once completed, online trombone research will be as easy as pointing and clicking. Stay tuned!
