Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for June, detailing what is new
in the Florilegium this month.

If you run a website, I also produce a special version of this article
meant for publication on websites. If you would like to get a copy of
that version each month, please email me. Or if you are an editor of an
SCA newsletter and would like to get a copy of this article several
weeks in advance so you have enough time to get all your pre-press work
done, please email me.

It looks like Time-Warner is threatening to cut-off the usenet groups
including this one, rec.org.sca. If they do this it will probably force
me to cancel my email and cable television service from them, unless I
can find another way to access this newsgroup. So this may be my last
posting of this monthly article for a while.

Thanks,
  Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past eighteen years in an ongoing effort, I have been
collecting bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail
lists and articles submitted to me by their authors. In order to make
this information available to others, I have placed this information in
a collection of files I call Stefan's Florilegium.

The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org

I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an article
that would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send it to me for
possible inclusion in the Florilegium. A&S documentation and class
handouts will also often work out well.

I am also interested in volunteers who might be interested in helping me
maintain the Florilegium. Everything from collecting materials, editing
and web work is needed. Again, please contact me for more details.
