                   Dear Vara,
       
       Thank you so much for undertaking this wonderfully ambitious and 
     useful project. As you say, it will be a terrific resource for     
 both scholars and common readers.

                   Dear Woolfians,
       
         
       Just as the           Virginia Woolf Miscellany is about to
celebrate           its fortieth anniversary this fall, I have begun to
work on           making it possible to access to all past issues of the
          publication online. 
       
         
       For those of you not familiar with           the history of
Miscellany, the periodical was originally           launched at Sonoma
State University where it was published for           almost thirty
years under the auspices of J. J. Wilson, who,           with Peggy
Comstock, Rebecca Davison, Ellen Rogat, and             Lucio Ruotolo,
founded the             publication. The publication transitioned to    
      Southern Connecticut State University in Spring 2003. 
       
         
       I have begun the rather long,           drawn-out process of the
scanning by converting six issues of           the Miscellany          
that were 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, the Miscellany 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 VWM Summer 1976, Issue 5, page           6). 
Similarly, Merry Pawlowski's special issue on Woolf and          
fascism (VWM 44 Fall 1994) offers an early contribution           to the
increasingly important discussion of Woolf and           anti-Semitism
(see for example the special topic in WSA           2013).
       
         
       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. 
       
         
       The issues listed above that I have           already scanned can
now be accessed at:
http://www.home.southernct.edu/~neverowv1/VWM_Online_Fall1973_Fall2002.html.
           And, of course, all issues published from Spring 2003 to the 
         present are accessible in searchable PDF format online at:
http://www.home.southernct.edu/~neverowv1/VWM_Online.html.
       
         
       Happy reading!
       
         
       Best,
