Dear Listmembers: 
 
Scholarly Resources is currently collaborating with Accessible Archives to 
develop full-text, fully searchable electronic databases of primary 
sources, similar to the Accessible Archives titles _The Pennsylvania 
Gazette_, _The Civil War: A Newspaper Perspective_, and _African-American 
Newspapers: The 19th Century_.  We need your assistance in identifying 18th 
or 19th-century serials to convert to an electronic format.  If you had 
your wish, what titles would you recommend?  What would you or your 
colleagues use?  What would your students use?  Would you prefer CD-ROM or 
online format? 
 
If you can think of any titles that would be immensely valuable in an 
electronic format, this is your opportunity to offer suggestions.  In 
addition, it would be helpful if you could also provide details about where 
the hardcopy is held and the names of any contact persons. 
 
Please respond privately to [log in to unmask] 
 
Thanks in advance for your input.
