"The Orsini Project Is Now Complete"
 
April, 9, 2008

Dear friends and colleagues,

 
I am writing to let you know that now that the Orsini project is complete, my UCLA email address will no longer be in service. You can reach me at gwenajello@yahoo.com.
The new Orsini finding aid is on-line at the Online Archive of California: http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ . Just search for "Orsini Family Papers." Please feel free to write to me with questions or comments on the finding aid and the archive. For access to the papers and requests for reproductions you can contact the department directly (Department of Special Collections, Charles E. Young Research Library, UCLA: <http://www2.library.ucla.edu/specialcollections/researchlibrary/index.cfm).
 
I hope the wonderful resource gets plenty of use!
 
All my best,
 
Gwen
