John P. Bell, Chair of the Caribe-Centroamerica Committee (CLAH), has asked me to organize a discussion at the annual meeting of the committee in Atlanta next January (meets concurrently with the AHA) on the question of dividing this committee into separate Caribbean and Central American Committees of the CLAH. I would like to hear from any Caribbeanists and Central Americanists who would like to participate in this discussion. Neither Caribbeanists nor Central Americanists have shown much interest in the past few years in each other's participation in this committee and some of us have wondered if it isn't time to have two separate committees. We would like to move on that question at the January meeting. The discussion need not be very structured, but since it may help some people to claim travel money if they are formally on the program, I will set up a "panel" to discuss the issue with those of you who wish to participate in it. Please respond to me directly at: woodward@mailhost.tcs.tulane.edu Sincerely, Lee

The Fritz L. Hoffmann Collection - to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the death of her husband, Fritz L. Hoffmann --whose career of distinguished teaching, service, and scholarship on Latin America at the U. of Colorado spanned five decades--Olga M. Hoffmann has donated their extensive collection of books and other materials for the history of nineteenth-century Argentina to the UCLA Library. The 3,000+ published volumes and selected copies of documents from Argentina's Archivo General de la Nación included in the gift are especially rich for the Rosas period, but this is much more than a specialized rosas collection. Mrs. Hoffmann hopes that this addition to one of the major Latin American library collections in the world will be well used by scholars and students.
