    REPORTS 155 REPORTS Folklore Research Resources in East European Studies: The Library and Archives of the American Hungarian Foundation Judit Hajnal Ward Rutgers University New Jersey, U.S.A. Sylvia Csűrös Clark St. John’s University New York, U.S.A. Resources for researching the folklore of immigrant groups vary from culture to culture. Hungarian Americans constitute several generations of immigrants who arrived in different waves. Their history of immigration shows strong similarities to that of many other ethnic groups from East Europe and their reasons for leaving can be attributed to the turmoil in the region in the late nineteenth and in the twentieth centuries. Folklore parallels to other ethnic groups have yet to be defined by scholars. A unique source for research in the area of folklore is the Library and Archives of the American Hungarian Foundation and it is a resource that can be used by folklorists and other scholars in many fields, not just by those interested in Hungarian Studies. Effects of the revolution in information access on research The rapid changes in information access and communication created new paths for research, publication, and scholarly communication. Subject guides on the homepages of academic libraries offer detailed descriptions of the collections themselves and of access policy. They have been created to assist scholars in deciding whether to access a resource electronically from a remote research location or to plan a trip and conduct research on site. Researchers increasingly need collection descriptions, guides, and finding aids to keep focused, to map out new directions for their research, and to be able to find and retrieve all relevant data.

  • Hungarian Studies Review
    about whom innumerable comments were published by bewildered Cana- dians. Miska's book was printed in a clear and pleasing form by D. W. Friesen & Sons Ltd. of Altona, Man. Its jacket design is the excellent work of John Brittain. Maria H. Krisztinkovich Vancouver, B. C. Steven Bela Vardy. The Hungarian-Americans. Boston: Twayne Publish- ers, 1985. 215 pages. One of the most daunting tasks that can be undertaken by a historian is to write a general history of any people over a two hundred year period in America. Professor Steven Vardy has done an admirable task in writing such a comprehensive history of Hungarian immigration to and settlement in North America. The book is well written, without becoming engrossed in one or other aspect of that history, and yet highlighting every aspect of the forces which were involved in the movement of so many over so many years. There are few such studies available to scholars or the interested public. Vardy's book is a much-needed volume. The work is well-organized, covering the various waves of immigration and the subjects of importance within each period. There is a logical flow to the way the chapters are organized. While mentioning many of the individuals who were important in various fields, the book never reads like a "who's who" of Hungarian immigration history. The approximately 200-page volume is successful in giving the reader a good sense of the various waves of immigration, how they interacted and what their respective contributions were. In the Preface, Vardy writes that this work presents an account of the history and everyday life of these immigrants.

Under U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations, the Commission has an adjudicatory role in the PFS proceeding.

Due to the nature of the Commission's role, I irust you will understand that all members of the Commission must remain impartial during the pendency of this case. It would be inappropriate at this time for any of them to discuss or comment on issues involved in this matter.
