That's right, nobody brought up electronic storage and internet availability, that some feel the files are not available for research now, or that they felt Larry and his staff are not doing anything. Until Scranton was brought up. Charles_Walsh_@_Berlex.com wrote: Well, as long as the collection will be properly catalogued and available--ideally on-line--then I would agree with you. But I think there are some of us who feel that that part hasn't been properly attended to and that there has been no plan articulated that would address the issue of availability. In other words, the overriding goal seems to be to keep the collection in house, as it were, but not doing anything with it necessarily. I'll add that "in house" appears to be somewhere within the state of Ohio.

Some (including apparently the board) see the archives as being owned by the society, and see no reason to give that up and have no control over what happens to them tomorrow, next year, or 25 years from now. There's a great deal of risk involved that we don't really need. Mike Charles_Walsh_@_berlex.com wrote: Mike, Perhaps that's the issue here...that some view the Collection as their personal property. If one does, then your analogy would seem reasonable. Otherwise, with all due respect, it's a specious analogy.

And the interest of your heirs? Anyone? Second question, WHY???

Let us not write up so many restriction that the archives become trash because no proper location can be found that will agree with them. Keep an open attitude, please.
