Hi: This url was sent to another genealogy list. It has a search mechanism. For some reason - the "docsouth" in the address became capitalized when it hit the internet so was unable to get this site. When I pasted it in again with the small letters it was okay. So, if you have trouble reaching it - look to see if any of the address has become capitalized. I punched in one of my surnames - "Hinds" and came up with twelve results. Haven't read them yet - too anxious to share the news.

It is organized into the projects listed above. The next one, now in the planning stage, will feature North Caroliniana. The Academic Affairs Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill sponsors DAS, and the texts come primarily from its Southern holdings. An editorial board guides its development. As of July 16, 2000, DAS includes 599 books and manuscripts. Most are accompanied by a full bibliographic record. We invite libraries to include bibliographic information on texts of interest in local online catalogs. Catalog records for these electronic texts are available in OCLCs Worldcat and in UNC-CHs OPAC at: http://unclib.lib.unc.edu:5555/htbin/webcat. The Academic Affairs Library is committed to the long-term availability of both texts and records. Regards, Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com
