             IAU ARCHIVES OF UNPUBLISHED OBSERVATIONS OF 
                            VARIABLE STARS 
 
 
 The Archives of Unpublished Observations of Variable Stars was 
created to preserve and make available variable star data which are 
not published in scientific journals. Lengthy tables can be made 
available in the archives without the publication expenses. 
Additionally, observations which are not used in published papers may 
be of great use to other astronomers and can be made available through 
the archives. Information on existing files is published periodically 
in the Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (Breger 
1979, 1981, 1985, 1988) and in the Bull. Inform. CDS (e.g. Jaschek 
and Breger 1988). Breger (1990) described how to submit and retrieve 
data from the archives. The submission of files electronically is now 
in place and working well. Further details regarding the submission 
and retrieval of files by electronic mail or on disk will be published 
in the near future. 
 
 The purpose of the present notice is to announce that Edward Schmidt 
has taken over from Michel Breger as coordinator of the archives. The 
procedures described previously should be followed except that 
communications with the coordinator should be directed to the 
following address: 
 
    Edward G. Schmidt 
    Department of Physics and Astronomy 
    University of Nebraska 
    Lincoln, NE 68588-0111 
    U.S.A. 
 
or to the coordinator's internet address:
