<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">Just as the
<i>Virginia Woolf Miscellany </i>is about to celebrate its fortieth anniversary this fall, I have begun to work on making it possible to</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; "> access to all past issues of the publication online. </span></div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; "><br>
</span></div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; ">For those of you not familiar with the history of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; "><i>Miscellany</i>, the periodical </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; ">was originally
launched at Sonoma State University where it was published for almost thirty years under the auspices of J. J. Wilson, who, with </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(43, 43, 41); ">Peggy
Comstock, Rebecca Davison, Ellen Rogat, and Lucio </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(43, 43, 41); ">Ruotolo, founded the publication</span>. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; ">The
publication transitioned to Southern Connecticut State University in Spring 2003. </span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; ">I have begun the rather long, drawn-out process of the scanning by converting six issues of the</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; "> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; "><i>Miscellany
</i>that were </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; ">originally published in print format only in searchable PDFs. The accessibility of the material should be of good use to scholars and common readers alike—and to anyone interested
in the history of the International Virginia Woolf Society as well. For example, t</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; ">he <i>Miscellany </i>pre-dated the founding of the Virginia Woolf Society--and now you can read online Morris
Beja's account of the initial stages of the plan to launch a society (see "The Virginia Woolf Society: A Report" published in the <i>VWM</i> Summer 1976, Issue 5, page 6). Similarly, Merry Pawlowski's special issue on Woolf and fascism (<i>VWM</i> 44 Fall
1994) offers an early contribution to the increasingly important discussion of Woolf and anti-Semitism (see for example the special topic in <i>WSA
</i>2013).</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">As of now, I have scanned only Issues 1, 5, 44, 58, 60 and 61 (for the record, Issue 60 is actually Issue 59, accidentally mis-numbered). I have almost all of the issues
in hand in reasonably good condition, but to make the collection of online issues whole, I will need some generous Woolfians to contact me privately if they possess hard copies of Issues 2, 4, 25, 38 in their original print format, not a photocopy. </span></div>
