The Art History Dissertations and Abstracts from North American Institutions dataset represents over a year of work collecting, collating, amending, and researching art history PhD dissertations submitted to CAA since 1980. The work was carried out by Catherine Adams and Carolyn Lucarelli of the Center for Virtual and Material Studies at Penn State, and art history graduate students, Jennifer Glissman, Emily Hagen, Kyle Marini.

The purpose of the bibliography "Les Écrits d'Aimé Césaire: biobibliographie commentée (1913–2008)" is twofold. First, to build on the editor's book, titled Les Ecrits de Aimé Césaire: bio-biblographie commentée 1913–2008 published in 2013 by Honoré Champion (champion@honorechampion.com). The bibliography will post information on texts from 1913–2008 discovered since publication of the book, as well as those appearing after 2008. Secondly, the bibliography offers information on current research on Césaire or other writers in his world, including book, articles, videos, links, and events. The editors encourage readers to provide information for the site by sending comments via the “nous écrire” page. Entries may be in French or English, or translated from other languages.

Writing when Pierre Corneille was producing his first plays, Jean de Rotrou (1609-1650) was considered as one of France’s most renowned dramatists. Since then, his fame has considerably faded from our literary memory as have his plays vanished from our stage. This annotated bibliography demonstrates however that drama specialists have never snubbed him. Trailing the illustrious trio Corneille-Molière-Racine, one can justifiably say that Rotrou was indeed the most prominent playwright of the lesser ones of the “Grand Siècle”… the most talented of the less gifted ones.
Over 200,000 Polish Jews fled Polish territory and survived the Second World War in the far reaches of the Soviet Union. They contended with extreme hunger, epidemic disease, cruel treatment, and the deaths of their family members and compatriots. And yet, on their return to Poland after the war, their own travails paled in comparison to the genocide they narrowly escaped. Survival on the Margins tells the improbable and largely unknown story of their wartime experiences.
