EDITOR'S NOTE
At its meeting of 1994 10 15, Council of the Classical Association of
Canada decided not to impose restrictions on the distribution of the
*Bulletin*. Although non-members who are receiving the *Bulletin* are
strongly encouraged to join the Association, membership will not be an
absolute prerequisite for subscribing. Requests for subscriptions should
be addressed to the editor (kkinzl@trentu.ca).
Thanks to Professor Jean-Claude Guedon, and Christian Allegre and Alan
Bulley, of the Federation canadienne des etudes humaines/Canadian
Federation of the Humanities, the *Bulletin* is now accessible on their
gopher service (gopher://tornade.ere.umontreal.ca:7071--i.e., at the
prompt, type: gopher tornade.ere.umontreal.ca 7071). I shall therefore
discontinue sending out back issues; they can be obtained from that
source.

*ELECTRONIC ANTIQUITY: COMMUNICATING THE CLASSICS* (ISSN 1320-3606)
Peter Toohey (Founding Editor); Ian Worthington (Editor)
Editorial Board: Jenny Strauss-Clay (Virginia); Elaine Fantham
(Princeton); Joseph Farrell (Pennsylvania); Sallie Goetsch (Michigan);
Mark Golden (Winnipeg); Peter Green (Austin); William Harris (Columbia);
Brad Inwood (Toronto); Barry Powell (Wisconsin); Harold Tarrant
(Newcastle, NSW)
Now in its second year (Volume 2 Issue 3 was published in October 1994),
*Electronic Antiquity* is an international refereed journal for the
Classics edited by Peter Toohey (founding editor) (UNE) and Ian Worthington
(Tasmania). *Electronic Antiquity* also aims to act as a medium through
which scholars (and graduate students) may exchange scholarly and general
views and be kept informed of developments and items of interest affecting
classics and the classics community as a whole. It will exploit the big
advantages of electronic publication: speed, regularity, minimal cost, ease
of production, and relative lack of size restriction. The journal is
published every one or two months.
Contents will include: traditional articles and reviews; kite flying
articles (non-refereed) trying out new ideas and seeking feedback;
reactions, however controversial, to recent books and articles; small-scale
panel or conference Acta since size is not a major problem; articles
summarising the state of play in a particular subject area; reactions to
contributions within the journal; letters to the editors (especially those
making a larger theoretical point or designed to stimulate debate). The
journal also acts as a clearing house for information of interest to
individuals and the wider classical community, such as: work-in-progress
(and requests for information) at graduate and professional levels;
forthcoming seminars, conferences, etc.; books forthcoming; vacancies.
*Electronic Antiquity*, in conjunction with *Scholia. Natal Studies in
Classical Antiquity*, will also preprint selected articles and TOCs from
*Scholia* in advance of its publication.
The editors welcome contributions, which should be e-mailed to them
(following the format requirements as set out in the file Guidelines in the
journal) at the address below.
Subscriptions to *Electronic Antiquity* are free - subscribers receive
automatic notice and list of contents in advance of the lists when another
issue has been published.

CANADIAN FEDERATION OF THE HUMANITIES/FEDERATION CANADIENNE DES ETUDES
HUMAINES
From: IN%"bulleya@ERE.UMontreal.CA" "Bulley Alan David" 4-NOV-1994
* What is the Humanities Canada Project?
The CFH invites your society to contribute to an ambitious
project that will be of great benefit to the entire humanities
community in Canada. The bilingual project, entitled Humanites
Canada / Humanities Canada (HC), is designed as an electronic
information service that will perform several important functions
for Canadian humanists. First among these functions will be the
creation of a window on humanities resources available on the
"Information Highway." Scholars in the humanities have begun to
reap some of the benefits of the emerging "Highway," but it is
still a common complaint that materials pertinent to humanities
studies are difficult to locate and access. Humanities Canada
will make a significant contribution at just this point by making
possible simple and rapid connections to the resources of major
libraries, government departments, on-line text archives,
electronic journals, archives of digitised art and sound,
academic job announcements, and many other services.
Ultimately, one hopes that the Humanites Canada project will serve
as the prototype for exciting explorations in the "university without
walls" and for new research initiatives in the humanities.
* How Can CFH Member Societies Benefit?
CFH member societies have the opportunity not only to exploit the
resources already available on the world-wide computer networks,
but also to make distinct contributions in their areas of
interest and specialisation. Space is being reserved on the
project computers for each member society to "publish" materials
of use to its members and to others working in the same
discipline. One society, the Canadian Association for Translation
Studies (Association canadienne de traductologie), has already
taken advantage of the Humanities Canada project to make
available information regarding their goals, information on
membership in CATS, a directory of the CATS executive and contact
people, a call for papers for their Annual Congress at the 1995
Learneds at the UQAM, invitations to participate in two special
seminars to be held at the Montreal Learneds, and a detailed
description of the society's journal (_TTR_) including the Tables
of Contents of previous issues. The Humanities Canada project
will also be an ideal place to disseminate discussion documents
and position papers related to annual meetings, to archive
documents related to the society or its field of interest, to
"publish" academic writing, to display art, and to seek out
potential members from a world-wide audience.
* How Does One Connect to Humanities Canada?
Humanities Canada presently exists as a "gopher"
site, available on-line as tornade.ere.umontreal.ca:7071.
A WWW site will be announced shortly. Contributions to HC will be made
available at both sites to ensure maximum access to the project's
contents and offerings.
In addition to the two server sites, an e-mail
discussion list (HUMCAN-L) has also been launched in order to
provide a forum where one can ask questions related to HC and
about how to contribute to it. HUMCAN-L is also the perfect place
to post announcements and comments on the HC project as a whole.
To subscribe to HUMCAN-L, send e-mail to LISTPROC@CC.UMONTREAL.CA
with the following line in the letter body (not in the subject
line):
Subscribe HumCan-L
You will receive a confirmation of your subscription and a
welcome message explaining all you need to know to interact with
the list and post your messages and questions.
* My Society Is Interested -- What Should We Do Now?
We suggest that each society appoint one individual as a point of
contact between the society executive and the Humanities Canada
managers. This individual should be someone who is at home with
computers and is accessible by e-mail. Nevertheless, the person does
not have to know everything about all the new formats. Our managers
will assist them in what they need to do. Further information
related to the Humanities Canada project is available from the
project managers who may be reached at the following e-mail
addresses:
Christian Allegre allegre@ere.umontreal.ca
Alan D. Bulley bulleya@ere.umontreal.ca
The project director is:
Jean-Claude Guedon (Universite de Montreal) guedon@ere.umontreal.ca
and the co-directors are:
