Subject: Civil War: Newspaper Perspective CD-ROM

Our library is considering purchasing a CD-ROM of several thousand newspaper
articles published between 1861-65: Accessible Archives' _The Civil War: A
Newspaper Perspective_. Publication is scheduled for this Fall.

We have not had much luck finding reviews, and we are not familiar with the
publisher. Before committing the several hundred dollars to purchase the
disk, we were hoping that the subscribers of this list would be able to
offer some useful comments.

Many thanks in advance.
