Hello Everyone, I visited this site that was recommended earlier on the list, and found the following: 16 HARVEYS (the search produces 61, but most of them use HARVEY as a given name, rather than surname) and 1 HERVEY (the search produces 3, but 2 use HERVEY as a given name, rather than surname) At 10 photocopies per person, per year, if a couple of us joined forces we could get all 17 photos and place them on our Website. Is anyone else willing to help me in requesting these photos? As I understand it from the message quoted below, it is free to get photocopies, and only costs when you request an 8X10. This way, everyone can see the photos, and then if they want an 8X10, they can order it themselves. Let me know if you are interested in helping with this project! Ann Oh, and THANKS TO TOBEOKNOW for sending us this great link!!! TOBEOKNOW@aol.com wrote: > The U.S. Army Military History Institute has started a searchable database of > their Special Collections.
