Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1993 10:41:11 EDT From: ted hull Subject: Center for Electronic Records FTP Site June 22, 1993 This message is being posted to the following Listserv's: GOVDOC-L, PACS-L, AHC-L, VWAR-L, SOS-DATA, OR-L, IASSIST, NAGARA-L, and ARCHIVES. Please forgive any duplication. This message revises information last posted on May 25, 1993. The Center for Electronic Records has added two new files to our FTP site; GIL36 and GIL37 - electronic versions of two National Archives leaflets related to electronic records. We have also renamed our FTP site to NARA_ELECTRONIC. ================================================================= The Center for Electronic Records of the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration has established an FTPable directory. The FTP directory can be accessed by FTPing to FTP.CU.NIH.GOV (128.231.64.7). Log on as an anonymous user; press enter (or enter your user name or 'guest') at password prompt. The directory in which this information is stored is NARA_ELECTRONIC (CD NARA_ELECTRONIC). Use the FTP GET command to retrieve copies of materials. In this directory are six files: a READ.ME file describing the contents of the files in the directory; Title List, a Preliminary and Partial listing of data files in the National Archives (TITLE.LIST.MAY0793), a guide to some of the records in the custody of the Center; a file containing a brief description of the Center (CENTER), electronic versions of two National Archives general information leaflets related to electronic records (GIL36 and GIL37), and a description of the fee based reference services provided by the Center (SERVICES). To gauge the usefulness of this service, Center staff would be interested in reactions from those who experiment with using any of these files. We are interested in suggestions for improvement, any criticisms, and general comments. I hope this information is useful. If you have any questions, please contact me at the Center for Electronic Records (NSX), ATTN: Reference Staff, National Archives, Washington, DC 20408. The telephone number is (202) 501-5579. I can also be reached via Internet at tif@cu.nih.gov or BITNET at TIF@NIHCU. THEODORE J.
