A number of you have expressed an interest in establishing a
mailing  list  which  focuses on  Nautical  Archaeology  and
"Submerged  Cultural  Resources Management",  for  currently
there  is no electronic meeting-place where members  of  the
nautical - or marine - archaeology community can interact in
a  special-interest environment. I suspect that there may be
500 or more of us who might be interested in participating.
At  this  point, I am developing an e-mail address  list  of
those  of  you who have expressed interest, or who might  be
interested  by  virtue  of  your  academic  or  professional
position. Once I have a core list of addresses, we will  set
up  a  listserver and start talking to one another a  little
more  about our research, projects, expeditions, jobs,  etc.
There  is  no doubt in my mind that there is a serious  need
for   such  a  forum,  and  that  it  will  enrich  us   all
professionally and intellectually.
 
If  you  agree,  and would be interested in  subscribing  to
NAUTARCH, please drop me a VERY brief note (please ...  only
one or two lines) to that effect. Additional addresses would
also be appreciated.
