Electronics Australia
copyright will not be lost
A number of readers have expressed their
sadness at the passing of “Electronics Australia”
magazine, which was briefly mentioned in last
month’s editorial. In truth, I had very mixed
feelings about it myself. On the one hand, it has
been a tough competitor for SILICON CHIP, ever
since we started in 1987 and now that it has
gone, we have the field to ourselves. On the other
hand, I and four other people on the SILICON CHIP
staff, (Greg Swain, John Clarke, Ross Tester and
Jim Rowe) all spent a great many years happily
working for Electronics Australia and we read it
for many more years, so a major part of our working lives has gone.
Still, it is not all bad. Following the demise of EA, quite a few people
suggested that we should make an attempt to ensure that all the archive
material and the EA website (www.electronicsaustralia.com.au) was preserved. And over the last few months we have had increasing numbers
of enquiries about EA projects, photostat copies, etc. So in fact, before
last month’s issue went to press, we approached the publishers of EA to
purchase all the copyright pertaining to EA, ETI and related titles and the
above-mentioned website and domain name. This has now been accom
plished, although at the time of writing, the material had not yet been
transferred to us.
What this means for the immediate future is that the material on the EA
website will be preserved and will be ultimately linked to the SILICON CHIP
website. And since we now own the copyright, we will be able to provide
photostats of articles in Electronics Australia. The charge for this service
will be $8.80, including postage.
Unfortunately, we will not be in a position to offer technical assistance
with EA projects – we simply do not have the time or any familiarity with
the designs of past EA projects. Nor will we initially be able to suggest EA
projects when readers enquire about particular circuit applications – again,
we simply do not have a detailed familiarity with what has been published
over the past 15 years in EA. That will come.
Importantly though, all the material that has been published over the
life of Electronics Australia, going right back to the 1920s and the days
of Wireless Weekly, and all the material associated with Electronics Today International (ETI), will be preserved. Ultimately, some of it may be
republished.
Thanks to all those readers who have emailed, phoned and written in
with messages of support and requests that we do not change our format.
We greatly appreciate your comments and we will continue to strive to be
the world’s best electronics magazine.
