Subject: History and Macintosh Society
Dear Scholars,
I am writing to inform you of the existence of a unique Macintosh
Users group whose members are academics in the social sciences and
humanities: the History and Macintosh Society. The group's title was
bestowed by its founder, Joe Coohill, a historian, but in reality HMS can
focus on uses of the Macintosh and Macintosh software in most fields except
the sciences. Our main activity is the composition of a quarterly
newsletter with articles on Macintosh news, software reviews, academic
computing information, etc. While originally there were membership dues
which covered the costs of printing and mailing a quarterly newsletter,
this newsletter is now distributed electronically at no cost to all who
desire to receive it. This is one of the advantages of membership in HMS;
another is that we can request free copies of software for review by HMS
members.
We urgently need active members who will contribute articles to the
newsletter, which is suffering because I am the only one who writes for it!
These can be on any topic concerning the use of the Macintosh in academic
life. I am currently eager for contributions on how people use their
Macintosh to take notes and on the applications of hand-held scanners in
research libraries.
Please feel free to to forward this message to people who might be
interested, and to contact me (preferably by e-mail) for further
information.
Yours truly,
Marc Bizer
