An information server is an electronic installation that provides lists, called "menus", of other electronic sites, allows users to select those in which they are interested, and switches users automatically to the site selected. Such sites include library catalogues; data bases; full texts of books, articles, reviews, reference works, computer software, and other materials; graphic image collections; professional news; national and local weather reports; telephone and electronic address books; university news services; electronic journals; and much more. Users may retrieve electronically whatever material they wish from thse sites, free of charge. HNServer currently has connections to over two hundred library catalogues worldwide; data bases in Kansas, Ohio, Minnesota, Mississipi, Missouri, Illinois, Washington DC, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, and the United Nations, as well as connections to other information servers that provide the user with still more additional connections. Several Usenet usergroups of interest to historians are presently on-line and more are being added. Electronic journals include CLIONET (Australia), Colegios, EconHist, REACH, and the Bryn Mawr Classical Review, and the holding of GHETA, the Netherlands respository of historical journals. Johns Hopkins Press pre-publication articles are now available, as well as the US National Archives catalogue of available files and the Library of Congress Information Files. Cooperative plans are underway to establish connections between HNServer and the Institute of Historical Research of the University of London, Carlisle Barracks' Center for Military History, and planned national storage sites for historical data in Germany and Canada. The operators of HNServer are continuing to search for other useful sites, and historians in various parts of the world have been stimulated by the existence of a central server to begin to establish new sites in which to collect historical materials.
