Social network
ACIS now has its own on-line social network area: Iberian Studies, where members and friends can share ideas, information and materials. We have forums, interest groups, and events listings, and can display media such as photos and videos. In addition each member has their own page with scope for a blog, and space to display their own media.

Membership of the network is by invitation, so if you'd like to join, please email Michael Shade. You don't have to be an ACIS member to join the network.
