I am not sure what happened back when Nelson sent his offer. We discussed it at 
a board meeting and thought it would be a good idea to do the out of print 
sheets on a CD. I was supposed to contact Nelson that the board was interested 
and would he take it on as a project and if so we needed more than just an 
offer to scan them. We wanted him to determine what it would cost to scan them 
(probably no cost if he would do), cost of CD’s, Cost of putting a nice label 
on the CD, Price for the CD jewel cases, and a recommendation as to how many to 
make and how much to price them at.

I thought I sent him a letter to that effect and never heard back. It is 
possible that I didn’t send it so he may not have known what we wanted. I 
thought this was a worthwhile project and have had it on my list of things to 
do for some time, but haven’t had an opportunity to follow up on it.

I apologize for not getting back to Nelson, I am not sure what happened as I 
may have gotten busy and forgot to send him the letter requesting more info.

 

As to the archive material, it was determined by the board quite some time back 
that the archives (once we got them established somewhere) would probably not 
be able to sustain themselves and the cost would be borne by the membership. 
However, it was also felt that the archive material should at least help 
supplement the cost. Now that we have a physical location there will be a lot 
of work to develop a catalog or at least an index, develop a way to put the 
information on line and also develop a process whereby someone will be able to 
either man the facility to allow persons to come in to research or to find 
persons willing to do the research for someone’s request. As to the comment 
that modelers won’t pay for information, I am not sure about that. Some may not 
but having just spend a substantial amount for photos from the Nebraska State 
Historical Society I am not sure about that. I am primarily a modeler with a 
large interest in history. Time will tell on this.

 

Just a note about the data sheets. They were printed and sent to members 
originally as an insert along with a Zephyr similar to the I am a Burlington 
Man and other items that have been sent to members. They were never intended as 
a “publication” but when we did them we printed additional ones so they would 
be available at least for a period of time. We will probably not include Sign 
Sheet #1 on the CD whenever I get it completed as it is essentially a shorter 
version of Sign sheet #2. 

 

Not sure what was meant by more information as the excel spreadsheet done by 
Ken is a complete list of all the data sheets that have been done.

 

I would again like to apologize for not getting back to Nelson before.
