The contents of each collection are drawn from academic journal articles, conference proceedings, Festschrifts, and similar sources that may otherwise be difficult to access because they were printed in obscure journals, are out of print, or available only in specialist libraries. Each volume also allows the development of a scholar's ideas on a particular topic to be seen over time. In his review of Roger Scott's Byzantine Chronicles and the Sixth Century (2012, CS 1004), for instance, Conor Whately in the Bryn Mawr Classical Review noted that some of the articles included in the volume were over 40 years old, two were new, and some came ``from hard to find publications such as Bysantinska S*lskapet Bulletin, a boon for scholars who might otherwise lack access to them''.
