Roanoke Colonies Research Newsletter
Volume 2.2 (May 1995)

A Bibliographic Checklist of 1994 Roanoke Colonization Sources and Related Materials

The 1994 checklist was assembled using the following print and electronic bibliographies: America: History and Life, Art Index, British Humanities Index, ERIC, Humanities Index, Infotrac, MLA International Bibliography, Readers’ Guide to Periodical Literature, and Social Sciences Index. In addition, we have included works sent to the Roanoke Colonies Research Office not found in these bibliographies. Our list of subjects covers a wide range of topics, including the 1580s Roanoke colonization efforts; people, such as Paul Green, whose work is connected to these attempts; the geography and biology of the Outer Banks; and so forth. Please send along citations for articles or books that we have missed. We will include additions to the 1994 list in the November issue of the Roanoke Colonies Research Newsletter. (The Croatan, cited below, is the official program guide of the play The Lost Colony and is published by the Roanoke Island Historical Association, 1409 Highway 64/264, Manteo, NC, 27954.)
