    1. [Abbeville] Treasures
    2. "When we have all the papers opened, catalogued and make a final assessment, we have to decide how to preserve the documents and make them available to everyone." I have been reading with interest, as so many subscribers have, about the find in Edgefield. I understand the documents will be available at the D A Tompkins Library and at the Archives in Edgefield, but for those of us throughout the country, that is somewhat inaccessible. Have you thought about contacting the Family History Library in Salt Lake City? If the library had a copy of the microfilms, they would be available for all to check out and be viewed via the FHC in home towns across the country. I applaud you for the monumental task you are undertaking, and am looking forward to being able access the treasures you have unearthed. Nancy Stromswold Reno, NV
