Exploring the SHARP-L Archives: A Word of Caution

The SHARP-L archives contain every message posted to SHARP's discussion list from its beginnings in March of 1992 to the present. Containing as they do the informal daily give-and-take of hundreds of scholars from all over the world, these archives represent a unique scholarly resource for historians of print culture. The SHARP-L records are now easily searchable in their unedited entirety by word, phrase, subject, date, or author.

Making these archives available to the scholarly community via SHARP Web in no way implies, however, that they are in the public domain or are unprotected by the laws of copyright. To the contrary: in making use of them you must always remember that the copyright of each posted message belongs to its author.

If you would like to quote from or reproduce a SHARP-L posting in an article or monograph or anywhere else, please request permission from its author and include a citation to its source.
