I don't know the time lag between publication in the MTJ and appearance 
on JSTOR, but I know that searching for things on JSTOR can be 
frustrating. I can do searches there using my own name and find most of 
my own essays and lots of references to me, but when I search for my 
name with several key words added to narrow down a search I sometimes 
get dozens and sometimes hundreds of results that have nothing to do 
with my name or even some of the key words. Go figure. I'd suggest 
contacting the MTJ. Both of those essays are fairly recent.

It would be great if there was a way to search all the articles on the web site. I did search in JSTOR for the articles in MTJ about the Denny journal, but I didn’t find anything. That search is definitely not perfect, however. If the articles are on JSTOR, I’d appreciate direct links to them.

>>>  The University of Virginia has a microfilm of a 274pg typescript of the journal of William R. Denny during the voyage of the Quaker City:

>>>  So my question is, what is the origin of the typescript? Is there a full copy of it somewhere?

>>>  And whether or not, does someone have a digital copy of the typescript? I don’t mind ordering a copy, or getting the microfilm and doing it myself, but in either case it will take over a month so I’m hoping someone might have it already.
