I picked up the club archives from Mike Ishler yesterday. Â There is some good info in there, like what we paid for the repeaters and duplexers, antennas, equipment, etc. Â Old logbooks, awards, QSL cards, and various paperwork.
The most interesting find were old club newsletters and meeting minutes. Â These are by no means complete, but is still a good amount. Â I have to thanks all the previous club secretary’s and other officers who kept these records. Â Newsletters pretty much stopped in the late 1990’s, with a couple of exceptions. Â Much club business and discussions took place via email, and eventually club news via website. Â The old websites are pretty much lost, though I think I’ve saved most photos, and some club meeting minutes are somewhere in the xarc@yahoogroups archives.
I hope to be able to scan our old newsletters at some point. Â The 1981 ones are on the History page. Â I hope to be able to add some other info from the archives as well.
For the time being, I’ve volunteered to be the home for the archives. Â Until I can’t.
