Hi Guys I'm attending a meeting of the Hug Soc Publications Committee tomorrow, Tuesday, at 6.00.pm. at which I'm presenting a paper suggesting that the Society produces its publications on CDRoms, at least the early stuff and the out of print material, like the parish register transcripts from the Quarto Series. I know we have had this thread before but I need to get a feel from you guys how many of you are members of the Society, whether your a non-member and how many would be interested in buying such CDRoms if they were - say - under GB£17.50 each plus postage and packing. This figure is not hard and fast but I'm taking it as a ball park for the time being. Don't mind being deluged this time but I need the information ASAP to make sure that the people on the Committee who may less computer inclined get a feel for the whole thing. Short responses would be appreciated. Regards Tony Fuller

Tony, I think those CDroms are necessary to reduce the direct consultation of old papers/docs who are in danger of overuse and of destruction because of their acid paper content. Thus I think your cd-rom would be welcomed by public or university libraries and genealogical organizations and individual historians or genealogists. Luc
