WAAC Newsletter

A nine-page article written by Walter Henry--Islands in the Net: A Guide
to the Internet--is one of three feature articles in the September 1992
WAAC Newsletter. Written in Walter's relaxed but highly informative
style, an overview is given of the basic services available in the Net,
followed by a discussion of mailing lists (including a description of
the Conservation DistList). Many ways to gain access to the Net are
outlined, with discussion in each case of the limitations and advantages
of various systems as well typical costs.

Also in the September issue: An article about the structure of Western
artists' brushes, written by fine arts technical consultant Zora Sweet
Pinney, and a description of a new method for mounting oversized flat
textiles by Denver conservator Elizabeth M. Red Elk. A two-page
technical exchange column edited by Walter Henry and a brief article
about building a medieval paper mill by Jack C. Thompson of Portland,
Oregon, are other sections that might interest Conservation DistList
subscribers.

Issues cost $5 postpaid; prepaid orders only. Make check payable to
WAAC. Send order to Elizabeth C. Welsh, Editor; WAAC Newsletter; 1213 W.

    **** Moderator's comments:   I think these announcements about
    what's going on in newsletters are a valuable service and would
    encourage those of you involved in other newsletters to post blurbs
    in the DistList.
