An Invitation from NEACH
NEACH is pleased to invite you to hear a talk by SUSAN HOCKEY
on the new CENTER FOR ELECTRONIC TEXTS IN THE HUMANITIES. It will
take place on WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1991 at 1:30 P.M. in New York
City at the IBM Building, 57th Street & Madison Avenue. The
meeting is free and open to the public.
Susan Hockey, formerly at Oxford University, recently became
director of the Center for Electronic Texts in the Humanities, a
new project formed by Rutgers and Princeton Universities with
funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
She will describe plans for the development of the Center
during its initial stages, including the inventory of machine-
readable texts and the Center's role in archiving texts and
providing educational programs. The talk will also examine
some current issues in humanities computing which need to be
addressed for the long-term development of the center. There
will an opportunity for the audience to comment on the center's
objectives and priorities.
To attend Susan Hockey's talk, please ask at the ground floor
of the IBM building for a pass to "NEACH" or "Humanities."
The meeting is scheduled for room 25A.

Historians who use Macintoshes should take note of the History and Macintosh
Society, an Apple-registered user group. The group publishes a quarterly
newsletter and distributes shareware to its members. The purpose of the
group is to discuss Macintosh software and hardware that might be
of interest to historians and academics in related fields. As it goes
into its second year, HMS will be discussing databases as note-taking
and note-organizing devices, portable Macs and their place in libraries
and archives, and recently advances in software aimed at the academic
market.
HMS was founded as a SIG (special interest group) becasue it was felt that
the major Mac publications were too concerned with graphics and business
applications, and that there were a lot of Mac-using historians out there
who don't have the time or the patience to wade through MacUser and Macworld.
The HMS newsletter and shareware are not available electronically.
If you are interested in joining ($10/year; $30/lifetime - and dues
will be going up next summer!), contact:
