We collect, publish, and
sell historical material, mostly on CD-ROMs. Of course, much (but not all) of the
material that we sell can be found in historical society
collections, in large metropolitan and university libraries, and in specialized genealogical
and local history collections. It's
possible to purchase many of the books we re-publish from rare book dealers
(or, if one is willing to wait long enough, to win them in an auction on eBay™).
For information that is
available elsewhere, our CD-ROMs provide access whenever you wish,
without driving to a library, without an extensive hunt on the internet (or the
fear that a page containing critical information has been taken down), and
we offer this for
a low price.
Some of the information
we offer is simply not available anywhere else. For information that is not available elsewhere, we offer all of
these benefits as well as access to the material.
For both, we frequently we add value via
indexing and inclusion of additional rare ephemera.
We KNOW that we provide
value.
We invite to examine our
offerings, to purchase if you wish, to take advantage of the free services (such
as the free
index to organizations that have
been known by their initials) that
we offer on-line via our network of history and information websites, and to
join our mailing list for an occasional update on our
offerings and additional helpful information.
