Editor's Note: This is the last issue of Historic Nantucket to appear in its familiar size and look. Editorial and format changes have delayed our publication schedule, and we are grateful for your patience. In our new face for the 90s, we plan to make much greater use of the photographic riches of our Research Center. In this issue we include a center section that gives but a few examples of the visual record which supplements our extensive collection of bibliographic and manuscript resources. Due to the confusion of publication deadlines, you may already have received the Spring 1990 issue. We solicit and look forward to your comments.
