STALINKA

[goscilo]

Dear Colleagues,

			
Though SEELANGS, unlike Norman Mailer, rightly discourages "advertisements 
for oneself" when the pertinent item is a book that conceivably could bring 
the author financial profit, the following announcement has nothing to do 
with sales. Indeed, it is intended to render colleagues a service.

The University of Pittsburgh team of Susan Corbesero, Helena Goscilo, and 
Petre Petrov takes pleasure in announcing the launch of their STALINKA, a 
comprehensive digital library of Staliniana for educational purposes. 
STALINKA comprises both visual and verbal texts.  The latter, currently 
under construction, includes biographical history, annotated bibliographies 
of Joseph Stalin’s works, a "Who’s Who" of individuals and organizations 
central to his activities, and critical scholarship on Stalin/ism. The 
visual part of the collection (now approximately 370 images) encompasses 
representations of Stalin in various genres: portraits, sculptures, 
graphics, photographs, and material objects.  Hosted by the DRL (Digital 
Research Library) within the University Library System (ULS), these images 
may be accessed at

 
http://images.library.pitt.edu/s/stalinka

We welcome anyone and everyone to the site, but emphasize that all the 
images are copyrighted and may not be disseminated or used outside the 
classroom without permission.  Enjoy!

Helena Goscilo for the S-Team
