What level of membership is required to gain access to the archived journals?

Featured Replies

I am unable to access the archived journals after registering as a supporter member.

Thank you for being a supporter member Austinpalm! My apologies for your difficulty.

The short answer is I don’t know. The longer answer is I will try to find out.

I do know that the IPS is transitioning to a new website to better handle membership and that there is discussion as to whether PalmTalk itself or the new website or even another location that stores other journals will be the best home for our scanned collection.

I haven’t tried to access the journals online recently since I was very fortunate to be gifted an entire set from a PT user several years ago.

@Austinpalm After logging in with your credentials, you should be able to go through them here: https://publications.palms.org/

Let me know if this is not the case. There may be a difference in the various levels.

Thanks for the response. I have been trying that and it does not work for whatever reason. I can log in prior and am told I need to log in again. Then am told that my username/password is wrong.

I clicked on the link you sent and indicated that I wanted to review volume 16. Very quickly, I am told that I need to sign in. When I try, I am told that my username/password is incorrect.

So no luck so far.

  • Are you using a PC? Phone?

  • Which browser?

I'm currently on a PC and using the latest version of Firefox (152.0.1).

I logged on here first: https://palms.org/Membership

Then opened a new tab and went to: https://publications.palms.org/

Your browser might be locked down so tight it isn't recognizing that you've authenticated. That's just a shot in the dark, though.

Have been using Google Chrome. Just tried Microsoft Edge. Both have same result. Neither gains access to the archived journals.

Dusted off Chrome for a test drive. Everything below is without logging in on the latest version of Chrome:

Went to site: https://publications.palms.org/ and scrolled down to the first available issue (March 2026) as a test. I right-clicked the Download This Issue button and selected Save link as.

Click Save on the dialog to download the file.

It occurred to me that I might be misunderstanding what you're trying to do. Let me know if that is the case.

Am going to the page with the latest journal issues. I am able to open or look at the various issues on that page and download various articles.

What I cannot do is a search for one of the archived journals. Basically, anything prior to late 2024. I type in a search topic, and nothing happens. I enter a volume number and them am told that I need to click on a link to the archived journals. Then am told that I need to sign in. When I enter my username/password which has already been accepted, I am told that my username/password is not good. So I am unable to look at any of the journals from before Oct/Nov 2024 or so.

@Austinpalm I think I was able to replicate the login that was failing. The logon screen was a WordPress login and wouldn't be our IPS account credentials. This is probably the screen you're referring to:

I did find a way to have some success. Try this and let me know if it works.

Type a year in the Search textbox and press Enter.

The page will spin for a little bit and then bring up some search results. If you want to keep the results up, right-click an archived journal link and select Open link in new tab.

On the tab that opens, you should be able to read or download the issue.

Hope this works for you.
