If anyone knows different, I would love to hear it. > Judy Was surprised by the post that members of Clarke County Historical Society were doing anything at all. My experience with this group is as described in the later paragraph. They are now sitting on a wealth of information contained in all of the back issues of their quarterly. These back issues would be of great interest to researchers in this county if they were available and prepared for this purpose. If anyone reading this post can help get this information out, [by obtaining permission to do so] please do so. Volunteers would index to back issues and type and or scan the stories into text files to be placed online in a safe place. Ownership of the copyright to this treasure would remain with the Historical Society of Clarke County. If there was a way to obtain copies of back issue stories just an index would be required. Today there is no way to research the back issues using an index. Several Libraries contain the back issues but without an index the back issues are near useless. Last week while in the Library in Mobile, AL I tried to use these quarterlies to research the salt oozes in Clarke County but could not take the time to read each issue to find the good stories contained in some of the back issues. An index would have made this required job easy. All that is required to get this work done is permission from the current members of the Historical Society. With their permission we can get this 'gold mine' of data on Clarke Co., AL out to the researchers. ...... Ray Revette/FL
