I agree that I hope that there is so much information there that they can 
never get to everything, however, I hope most of it gets organized so that 
everyone who would like to see it can enjoy it.   They weren't even sure 
where some items were at or if they even had such information.  I would like 
to have seen if they had information on track diagrams or such.  Hopefully 
the staff there will be able to at least help to a point where they can 
figure out what they have.  My only problem was that I went on the day the 
EL Archivist wasn't there.  Maybe I can find out ahead of time when he will 
be there so I can coordinate a better research experience.
