If it isn't, there is even more material that is not available to us. How I wish I could look at these materials! I will just have to be patient.

For one thing those materials were described as being in bad condition; it seems unlikely they'd have them lying around an office for people (even employees) to handle. For another, I don't see why they'd be in the town office rather than the county. >From what I read in that article I think those materials are going to be carefully evaluated and cataloged for quite some time, and after that -- well, I hope digitized copies, not the originals, will be made available.
