A new publisher is preparing a revised edition of the Directory of American Scholars. On the basis of the "revision form" that I received today the last edition probably was published in the mid-80s. (The form lists me as having no children, but as I type this I seem to have a daughter upstairs who is at least 5-5.) Presumably the publisher will have little trouble reaching people who were in the last edition or who appear in the AHA's Departments of History handbook, but there are many people--esp. independent scholars and people who teach at community colleges and smaller four-year colleges--who may get missed. By the way, past editions have defined "American" as "North American" by residence or nationality. In any event, here is the address and other information that I can share: Gale Research Inc. 835 Penobscot Bldg. 645 Griswold Detroit, Michigan 48226-9948 (the envelope says 48226-4094) FAX (313) 961-6815 TEL (313) 961-2242, ext. 1757 I don't have an email address for the Directory American Scholars project.
