The History of News & Clues

News & Clues was first published in July of 1960 and was then published monthly until the middle of the 1990's, when it became a bimonthly publication. Later in the 1990's, because of a greater reliance on web pages to communicate timely information, News & Clues became a quarterly publication. News & Clues changed from a print publication to an electronic publication with the spring 2001 issue. Browse the images below for a glimpse into the history of this newsletter.
