The International Newsletter of Communist Studies (INCS), issued since 1993/1994, focuses on the international research concerning communist and respective left political systems, movements and ideas. Combining the features of a journal and a newsletter, it is aimed at scholars and publicists, archivists and librarians. The multilingual publication accompanies the opening processes of the archives in the East and the West. It regularly contains project presentations, reports on archival openings, problems and projects, an annual bibliography, reviews and presentations of new publications, current events and meetings, a survey of periodicals and online resources. It also publishes materials and articles with a regional, biographical, institutional or cultural focus. A more concise paper edition of INCS is included in the ”Jahrbuch für historische Kommunismusforschung” published by Aufbau Verlag, Berlin (see: <http://www.stiftung-aufarbeitung.de/jahrbuch-fuer-historische-komm!
