information last posted on May 25, 1993.

The Center for Electronic Records has added two new files to our
FTP site; GIL36 and GIL37 - electronic versions of two National
Archives leaflets related to electronic records.  We have also
renamed our FTP site to NARA_ELECTRONIC.

=================================================================
The Center for Electronic Records of the U.S. National Archives
and Records Administration has established an FTPable directory.
The FTP directory can be accessed by FTPing to FTP.CU.NIH.GOV
(128.231.64.7).  Log on as an anonymous user; press enter (or
enter your user name or 'guest') at password prompt.  The
directory in which this information is stored is NARA_ELECTRONIC
(CD NARA_ELECTRONIC).  Use the FTP GET command to retrieve copies
of materials.

In this directory are six files: a READ.ME file describing the
contents of the files in the directory; Title List, a Preliminary
and Partial listing of data files in the National Archives
(TITLE.LIST.MAY0793), a guide to some of the records in the
custody of the Center; a file containing a brief description of
the Center (CENTER), electronic versions of two National Archives
general information leaflets related to electronic records (GIL36
and GIL37), and a description of the fee based reference services
provided by the Center (SERVICES).

To gauge the usefulness of this service, Center staff would be
interested in reactions from those who experiment with using any
of these files.  We are interested in suggestions for
improvement, any criticisms, and general comments.

I hope this information is useful.  If you have any questions,
please contact me at the Center for Electronic Records (NSX),
ATTN: Reference Staff, National Archives, Washington, DC 20408.
The telephone number is (202) 501-5579.  I can also be reached
via Internet at tif@cu.nih.gov or BITNET at TIF@NIHCU.
