Rich-
I will start a file and hopefully, others will also step up with interest in
such an outing. You're correct; it will probably have to be on a Saturday as
most people can't take time off from work.
Thanks,
Charlie

Subject: IRM Archiving Work
Bob/Charlie,
I would be interested in getting involved with the IRM archiving work at the
Pullman Museum. The only issue is my work schedule pretty much makes the
weekends the only days I can participate. I don't live all that far from Union
and the whole subject interests me. Since Bob already works out there, maybe
we can go together sometime and meet up with Ted.
Rich
I would like to hear from any list member (BRHS member or not) who would be
interested in such a "work party" and I will coordinate it with Ted to get it
set up. Ted's regular work day for volunteers is Wednesdays but we may be able
to schedule a different day if Ted would be available or would prefer that the
regular work not be interrupted with a bunch of first-timers clopping around
the premises.....
Thank you,
Charlie Vlk

As described earlier, the best method for this is to emulate what the
SLHS has done - bring in volunteers who can aid in the research and
physical effort required. As the last few times anything like this
has been discussed have been greeted with nothing but yawns (if that)
I don't see it happening. The Burlington is one of many roads,
there are millions of drawings to conserve, index and review. There
is no incentive to put CB&Q drawings and/or information in front of
any other effort. Sounds tacky, but that is (literally) the bottom line.
