AN ARCHIVAL GUIDE & BIBLIOGRAPHY

THE FOREST HISTORY SOCIETY (FHS) maintains an extensive computerized data bank of published sources related to environmental history. The biblioscope section of this journal includes just a selection of the new information that the fhs library adds to that data bank each quarter. The library indexes all entries in the data bank by topic, chronological period, and geographical area. The library staff will gladly provide additional information about particular items you see in this section or information on other topics from the data bank. The library is happy to respond to requests for full bibliographies or lists of archival collections that may be useful for specific research projects. The unabridged version of this Biblioscope is available on our website at http://foresthistory.org/Research/biblio.html.

The compiler also welcomes information about relevant publications that the staff may have missed, including books, theses, and dissertations. The compiler particularly welcomes photocopies of relevant articles. The use of brackets in the following citations indicates that although the publication did not include the information, the compiler has added it.
