A Bibliographic Checklist of 1999 Roanoke Colonization Sources and Related Materials

The 1999 checklist was assembled using various bibliographies along with citations sent to the Roanoke Colonies Research Office. It includes items from the past year as well as earlier items not included on previous checklists. A wide range of subjects is covered: the 1580s Roanoke colonization efforts, writers whose works are connected with those attempts, the geography and biology of the Outer Banks, and so on. Some 2000 items that have been published or that are scheduled to appear have been noted at the end of the checklist. Please send citations that we have missed for inclusion on the supplemental 1999 checklist in the November issue of the Roanoke Colonies Research Newsletter.
