Yes, the archives does contain almost a complete collection of annual
reports, but as Gerald said, until we can find a permanent home for them,
they are pretty much inaccessible.

I am uncertain as to whether BRHS archives have any but regardless, til we
find a permanent home for same, they are not readily accessible.

Gerald, Wow! What a source of info. I'd always assumed annual reports
would be balance sheets and such. I'd never thought of them as a way to
track the construction or installation of buildings and other facilities.
How rare are they? Does the BRHS archives have any?
