Storage Space

[NW Mailing List]

 Mason,
That may be, but I don't think anyone wants to see our materials leave the Roanoke area.  After all, that is where the N&W was headquartered and where our mindset eternally remains.  

As I interpret what you are saying, everything would go back to Richmond.  NS gave all that collection to the Virginia Museum of Culture and History there when they left Norfolk for Atlanta, and they have done absolutely nothing with it.

   Gentlemen,   Back under the leadership of Jim Gillum, we had an arrangement, that if for some reason the archives would become defunct, the collection would go to the Virginia State Library. Because of this, N&W material in their collection came to the N&W HS archives collection.    Mason Cooper

  Carl,       Ken and I are already on top of that.  We are beginning to explore what will be the long term disposition of the society's archival material.  In fact, we have a meeting with the Roanoke College librarian this coming Monday.       Tim Hensley   N&WHS President

Has the society considered approaching a college/university and asking if they would accept these materials into their Special Collections holdings? They might accept the materials for free. This would place the society's holdings in a secure and properly managed environment.       That type of affiliation might even open some doors into being able to hold the annual meetings on the college campus for free during the summer.
