Hi List; Maybe this will help Susan. I've had this quite awhile so it may
not be up to date:
http://archives.state.ri.us.
This will connect to their home page, under construction with a connection
to
their gopher site with all of their electronic brochures online. These will
tell you what they have (which is quite a bit!) how to contact them, the
costs
of copies and what they will do as far as off-site research.

Regards
Herb Phelps
