Newsletters, 1987-2004
Nineteenth Century Committee, SABR

The Nineteenth Century Committee of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) was established in 1983. Founders John Thorn and Mark Rucker sent a letter To Whom It May Concern, 30 September 1982, which may be considered "number zero" of an occasional series. Here is the complete publication record for the overt newsletter, beginning late 1987 and under the title "Nineteenth Century Notes" since 1991.

The entire run is available on paper at cost of copying and mailing. That includes the first two letters and a brief overview of other early letters. SABR members, send to Paul Wendt/ 64 Riverside St #3/ Watertown MA 02472-2652/ either $15 (thru #2001, 200+ pages) or $20 (complete, 270+ pages) by check or money order payable to Paul Wendt. Nonmembers, send $25, which helps defray the cost of miscellaneous mailings to members and serious nonmembers alike. Read the Newsletter Archive guide to contents.

The founding co-Chairs John Thorn and Mark Rucker communicated first
with the prospective and then with the official SABR research committee
in several letters, 1982 to 1987.  Read an overview of the letters.

Note. The SABR archive is not now (Summer 2004) a good source because it is divided between SABR and the Western Reserve Historical Society, and it is mainly uncatalogued at WRHS.

Acknowledgements. Former Chairs John Thorn, Bob Tiemann, and Fred Ivor-Campbell helped assemble the complete set beginning November 1987. Former Chair John Husman provided numerous 1982-1987 letters from the founding co-chairs John Thorn and Mark Rucker.
