Subject: NEW LIST: NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR RESEARCH FORUM
INVITATION FOR SUBSCRIPTION:
NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR RESEARCH FORUM (NLRF)
The Newfoundland and Labrador Research Forum (NLRF) is an
unmoderated list for scholars and students of Newfoundland and
Labrador Studies. It is intended as a forum for the free exchange
of ideas and information on all topics pertaining to Newfoundland
and Labrador Studies. In addition, the list owners hope to keep
subscribers informed of archival and bibliographical
developments.
While NLRF is not an official organ of Memorial University, it is
maintained at Memorial University of Newfoundland by Dr. Hans
Rollmann (HROLLMAN@MORGAN.UCS.MUN.CA) and Dr. Melvin Baker
(MELBAKER@MORGAN.UCS.MUN.CA). Dr. Rollmann, a professor in the
Department of Religious Studies, has served for several years as
coordinator of the inter-disciplinary Newfoundland Studies Minor
at Memorial and has an on-going research and teaching interest in
the religious and intellectual history of Newfoundland and
Labrador. Dr. Baker is the University Records Archivist at
Memorial. Both have published extensively in the area of
Newfoundland and Labrador Studies.
Besides providing a forum for discussing Newfoundland and
Labrador Studies, the list owners of NLRF intend to maintain
eventually a GOPHER subdirectory with a number of bibliographical
and archival guides. We also plan to provide periodic updates on
new developments in Newfoundland and Labrador Studies at Memorial
University and in the wider scholarly community. This news
section will inform subscribers, for instance, of recent
publications and upcoming conferences and lectures. Here we
invite vigorous participation from all list subscribers.
THE ONLY REQUIREMENT TO JOIN THE LIST IS A BRIEF INTELLECTUAL
BIOGRAPHY FOR YOUR FELLOW SUBSCRIBERS, WHICH SHOULD CONTAIN YOUR
RESEARCH INTERESTS, HOPES, AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
