| Welcome to the second edition of MAGAZINE The newsletter of ICOMAM, the International Committee of Museums of Arms and Military History, published to inform members of its activities and publicize these to the wider world. Since our first issue ICOMAM has held its conference in Rio de Janeiro where we were in the very capable hands of Admiral Armando Bittencourt. He and his staff looked after us in superb style enabling us to see their wonderful collections, meet our South American colleagues and experience Brazil’s legendary hospitality. We have included a short photo essay of the conference here.
As in the first issue we have a mixture of material from news and exhibitions to articles on objects and displays. As we stated before we hope to provide a forum for the wider field of arms, armour and military studies – to share ideas and experiences and spread information about what worked and what did not. We hope you find it useful and informative.

| Welcome to the first edition of ICOMAM’s MAGAZINE. MAGAZINE was born from the desire of ICOMAM, the International Committee of Museums of Arms and Military History, to inform members of its activities and publicize these to the wider world. We plan to publish twice a year – in Spring and Autumn. Each edition will carry news items relating to our museums and information about exhibitions, conferences, people, museum developments and new acquisitions; articles about wider issues such as objects, history of collections, conservation; and reviews of exhibitions, museums, and books.
We would also like to cover new technologies and developments in museums – in fact everything and anything about our subject. We hope it will provide a forum for the wider field of arms, armour and military studies - to share ideas and experiences and spread information about what worked and what did not. We hope you find it useful and informative.
