What's new on Lumbeebibliography.net

Announcement
I was on off-campus scholarly assignment during the spring semester, 2007. During this time, and continuing in the summer, I have been adding a large number of items to this site that have been published or discovered during the last two or three years. In addition, the site will soon receive a major "makeover" and technological updating. I welcome suggestions for features you'd like to see on the site, as well as additional topics about the Lumbee that you'd like to see represented here. Please e-mail me with your suggestions. —Glenn Ellen Starr Stilling


The following are annotations for a variety of new sources published or discovered within the last year, as well as sources from The Lumbee Indians: An Annotated Bibliography, with Chronology and Index (McFarland, 1994). The 1994 book is out of print. Annotations from it for sources on the Lumbee published prior to early 1994 are gradually being added to this site.
