Contributors are needed for the RSVP Bibliography, which is published
biennially in Victorian Periodicals Review (VPR). Contributors monitor
assigned journals for articles dealing with periodicals published between
1800-1914 and submit annotated index entries for inclusion in the next

We currently have a large number of unassigned journals, and we thus need
many new contributors, especially ones with access to Canadian and Scottish
periodicals.
