ES&H Communications Newsletters

The ES&H Communications SIG has been publishing newsletters since 1995. The first four issues were hard-copies. From 1997 they were published in HTML on the new ES&H Communications website. From 2001 they have appeared as PDF.

We are proud to present our new Newsletter Editor, Laura Allen, who introduces herself in the Spring 2007 newsletter. If you have an idea for an article, please contact Laura at tclady1@aol.com.

Be sure to use our new Wiki as well. The newsletter editor will be looking here for material as well as calling for materials in the newsletter and emails to members.
