Well, I am embarrassed to say that I haven't been to the American Mathematical
Society web site for quite awhile. Although, I do use MathSciNet regularly. Anyway, I have just discovered Mathematical Moments. The Mathematical Moments program promotes appreciation and understanding of the role mathematics plays in science, nature, technology, and human culture via podcasts. In addition, a few display the national flags of various countries, by selecting the flag icon, you can hear the podcast in that language. Also, there are links to supplemental resources (web sites and pdf documents). Some examples of topics of the podcasts are: Bending It Like Bernoulli, Burying Carbon Dioxide, Finding Fake Photos, Predicting Storm Surge. There many more.

If this is news to you, please check it out.

Great News! Project Euclid is now hosting the Hiroshima Mathematical Journal back to 1961 as open access.

In the meantime, you can check it out at: http://projecteuclid.org/DPubS?service=UI&version=1.0&verb=Display&handle=euclid.hmj

The Proceedings of the Berkeley Symposium on Mathematical Statistics and Probability 1949-1972 are now available through Project Euclid.

Osaka Mathematical Journal (1949-1963) which was superceded by Osaka Journal of Mathematics (1964-2000) are now available through Project Euclid. The archive covers nearly 33,000 pages and over 2,000 articles.

Well done!
