Please be aware that copies of the Record American are NOT available for viewing. ================================= NEWSPAPER PROJECT...VOLUNTEERS NEEDED Message List Reply | Forward Message #5209 of 5294 < Prev | Next > As many of you know the Mahanoy City Public Library is going to undertake the project of digitalizing the old copies of the Tribune and Record American newspapers. The old newspapers from the Record American need to be moved from the Shenandoah Evening Herald Office to the Mahanoy City Public Library. The first step of the move is to move the ledgers from the third floor storage area to an place of easier access. Volunteers are needed to help move the ledgers from the third to first floor of the Herald's office. Another move will be schedule to actually move them to the library. The ledgers are VERY fragile and must be handled with care. If you are an able bodied male who can give a few hours of your time, please contact Tom Ward at 570-467-3476...leave a message on the answering machine if he isn't at home. Tom will give you the details as to date/time/place of where you will be volunteering. The papers are being moved so they can be digitalized...THEY WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC VIEW UNTIL THAT PROCESS IS COMPLETED so please do not start calling the library asking to view the papers or for a lookup. They do not have the volunteers to assist you at this time. Many thanks for your help... Shirley Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
