It has been my normal course of events for the past several years to forward to the various mailing lists of which I am a member a brief list of online material for my fellow list members to enjoy during the holiday season. This year I have to offer as my "Christmas Treats" portions of several books in my digital collection. Because of the size of the PDF most folks would not be able to open them online so in that case I have deleted large portions out of the books to facilitate online reading. If you would like access to these publications please send me an e-mail privately and I will forward a series of links. These links will point to PDFs containing images from such varied volumes as the first and second marriage dockets of Montgomery county, Ohio, the 1830 tax duplicate for the same county, the first two death registers of Bedford county, Pennsylvania, the 1900 county directory for Bedford county and an article culled from an unknown issue of the Bedford Gazette concerning the early history of the county. Now to what I have online that is available as links. I have at present 25 of my over 80 German Baptist Brethren almanacs online and available for reading. This is a membership only site (to protect it from hackers) and so additional steps are needed to gain access. Send an e-mail to almanac@brethrenarchives.com with a subject heading of "Membership" and containing in the body your name only. Shortly you will receive a return e-mail with a link and your login information. One of my sites is the book "Some Who Led" written by Galen B. Royer and Daniel Long Miller in 1912. The online version is a 232 page book, unlike the original which was 224 pages. I typeset the book and added an index and then created, as one of my first forays into web site creation, a web site and have made it available to the public. This book can be found at http://brethrenarchives.com/Free/Book/001/index.html. I have also made the 1883 edition of the Gospel Messenger, the first printing of that newspaper, available online. This can be accessed at http://brethrenarchives.com/Free/Papers/GM/1883/ and please be forewarned that it may take a short time for the site to load into your browser. The site has been superseded but that is a member site only and closely held. As part of an ongoing project I have been as time permits scanning a collection of glass plate negatives created by Samuel Fluke of Morrison's Cover, Bedford county, Pennsylvania. My results to date can be viewed at http://brethrenarchives.com/Free/Photos/Set%20001/index.html. As a favor I do volunteer work archiving many things for various Brethren institutions. One of these was a set of four large format class photographs for the Elizabethtown College in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania. Online I have the photographs of the classes of 1928, 1912, 1929 and 1921. At the site I created for viewing these images there are in order as mentioned from the top to the bottom. These images can be viewed at http://brethrenarchives.com/Elizabethtown/photos.html. The originals are nearly 5 gigabytes in size and measure some 14 feet long end-to-end. My wish to each of you is that your Christmas has been an enjoyable one and that all your goals in the coming year are reached to your fulfillment and satisfaction. Cordially, A. Wayne Webb
