Roanoke Colonies Research Newsletter
Volume 1.2 (May 1994)

A Checklist of 1992-1993 Roanoke Colonization Sources and Related Materials

The 1992-1993 checklist was assembled using the following electronic bibliographies on CD ROM: America: History and Life, Art 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 that were not found on these databases. While searching the databases, our list of subjects covered a wide range of interests, including works on the 1580s Roanoke colonization efforts; writings of people connected to these attempts (such as the poetry of Sir Walter Raleigh); sixteenthcentury exploration by nations other than Great Britain (especially Spain); and beach erosion along the Outer Banks. If in looking over the checklist you find specific articles or books that we have missed, please let us know. We will include additions to the 1992-1993 list in the November issue of the Roanoke Colonies Research Newsletter and will put a 1994 checklist in next May’s issue.

Some 1994 sources of interest that have already come to the
office’s attention have been added at the end.
