One of the most surprising fruits of the phenomenal growth of the Perseus
Digital Library has been the volume of e-mail we receive. The sheer number of
questions, comments, compliments, and requests has left us flattered and
astonished. Many of the messages have concerned the growth and direction of the
Perseus Project. Some ask for specific authors or texts; others wish to know if
we plan to expand into new areas of coverage. We are as diligent as possible in
answering each and every piece of mail, but experience tells us that visitors
to our site would like more information on who we are, what we're doing, and
where we're going. With the Perseus Project quarterly newsletter we will
outline our on-going work, update users on additions and changes to Perseus (in
all of its incarnations), and announce plans for future projects. The premier
issue summarizes some of the major developments of 1998. It's also an
introduction to the mission, goals, direction, and staff of the Perseus
Project. We hope you enjoy this modest effort and we welcome comments and
questions at webmaster@perseus.tufts.edu or at our mailing address.
