Geniza Fragments 80 - final issue

GENIZA FRAGMENTS, the Newsletter of the Taylor-Schechter Genizah Research Unit, Cambridge University Library, has published its final issue, Issue 80. It has been out since October, but I just noticed it. The Newsletter was on hold during the pandemic. The newsletter page explains the reasons for the discontinuation:
Due to difficulties accessing printing and mailing resources during the pandemic, we have decided to retire the ‘Genizah Fragments’ newsletter with a final edition this autumn (2021). However, you will still be able to keep up with Genizah news through our blog page which went live this summer.
The final issue highlights some recent discoveries, looks at geniza studies in the time of Covid, and has a retrospective on the Newsletter.

I read the Geniza Fragments blog and link to it from time to time.
