Resource Updates:
In the Fall 2008 CBHD completed its digital library conversion project in which all of the Center’s audio and video resources were converted into electronic media. The resources previously were available for purchase in either cassette, CD, or VHS formats. While we work through the process of making these resources available online, please contact us at info@cbhd.org if you wish to give priority to a particular audio or video resource.
CBHD recently updated several of the topical bibliographies on our flagship website, as well as added a few new topics. These bibliographies can be accessed at www.cbhd.org/resources.
