Notes on Contributors 236

Important notice to our subscribers:

In an effort to meet the ever-increasing costs of publication with- out raising our subscription rates, the International Journal of African Historical Studies will appear three times

instead of four times a year, effective with Volume 24 (1991). Each single issue will be larger than it has been in the past, so the total number of pages in each volume will be nearly the same.

At the same time, we have invested in new Macintosh equipment that we think makes the text sharper and easier to read. In the long run we will also have enhanced capacity for graphics and for reproducing a wide range of diacritical marks. We appreciate your understanding and continued support.

NEW RESOURCES AT THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

The manuscripts section of the New York Public Library has informed us that the papers of CARE, the international relief agency, are at the NYPL and are now available to researchers. CARE was founded in 1945 to provide emergency shipments of food to

European countries after World War I, but gradually expanded its scope to include long-term assistance to developing countries in nutrition education, agriculture, school and housing construction, medicine, and transportation in more than sixty countries worldwide. The 1,169-box collection includes more than 200 linear feet of country project files and reports from CARE's various missions, as well as administrative correspondence, minutes, annual reports, and public relations files. Materials date from 1945 to ca. 1985.

For African countries, there is extensive documentation of CARE's presence in Algeria, Chad, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Niger, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Tunisia; and to a smaller extent, in Cameroon, the Congo, Ethiopia, Somalia,

Sudan, and Uganda.

The CARE papers are arranged to folder level; a detailed guide, box list, and index to the collection are available. For more information, contact:
