The Rockefeller Archive Center announces the debut of a new online publication, "Rockefeller Archive Center Research Reports Online," available on the Center's website (www.rockefeller.edu/archive.ctr/). This online feature will complement the Center's two annual print publications, Research Reports from the Rockefeller Archive Center, which now will appear in the fall, and the Center's Newsletter, which becomes a spring publication in 2001.

Eleven new essays from scholars around the world are available in the online feature's debut issue. They include three essays on science and public health in Europe; two on population control; two on higher education in the American South; two on Latin American agriculture and public health; one on film, and one on the introduction of the supermarket to Italy.
