geographically arranged gophers; or by gopher directly to
una.hh.lib.umich.edu (choose "inetdirs"). It is also available in
several other gophers.
 
A WWW version is close to completion and should be ready in the
next few days.
 
 
NEW GOPHERS & OTHER IMPROVEMENTS TO GOPHERSPACE
 
International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS). A gopher
begun in February 1994 by members of ICOMOS Canada to serve the
information needs of the international non-governmental
organization and its constituent national and specialized
committees. Gopher to hpb.hwc.ca port 7000; or choose
International Organizations from the Mother Gopher at the
University of Minnesota.
 
Ministere de la Culture et de la Francophonie. Includes a variety
of French national databases, including MERIMEE, the database of
the Inventaire General des Monuments et des Richesses Artistiques
de la France.
 
     The Ministry's databases can be accessed either by gopher,
     or directly by telnet, but new users would be advised to
     read the instructions which accompany the gopher choice
     "Bases de donnees documentaire." Gopher to cyr.culture.fr
     and choose "Bases de donnees documentaire." Alternatively,
     telnet to cyr.culture.fr port 75.
 
     The initial default database appears to be JOCONDE
     (drawings, prints, paintings, and sculpture).  At the first
     opportunity, hit <return> and at the prompt that will then
     appear at the bottom of the screen, type "M:BA" to produce
     the list of databases. Choose "2" for MERIMEE. To bring the
     Merimee fields to the screen, type "M:MA GUIDE". You can
     then tab between different fields. Enter one or more search
     terms and hit <enter>. To see the results of your search,
     type 1 ("visualiser"); "S" to see the next record; or
     <enter> to see the next page of a record.
 
     IMPORTANT: to quit, type "M:FI N" (note the space between FI
     and N).

ArchNet are a finding aid to the Massachusetts Archives and the
