The Old English Newsletter is a peer-reviewed academic journal established in 1967. It covers Anglo-Saxon studies and is published by the University of Massachusetts for the Old English Division of the Modern Language Association of America.
The journal publishes an annual Bibliography and Year's Work, which are widely relied upon. Many issues include obituaries of relevant scholars.
The online version contains an archive of several years of the journal's publications.
