Sheryl & Ray...The digitization and indexing project is progressing well with 75 boxes of the approximately 150 to be completed in a month or so. Paul Connolly, AMS Imaging, who is doing the digitizing and indexing estimates a completion date of November of this year for the period, 1935-1941. Mr. Connolly also obtained from Roy Jinks a roll of microfilm and he can now workup a project description and cost estimate for digitizing Mr. Jink's shipping records.

In anticipation of completing the project, I have asked Joe Carvalho and Guy McClain of the Conn. Valley Historical Museum to begin thinking about how S&WHF letters will be isssued and a cost structure for them.

The demonstration at the S&WCA meeting went well and was well received. Dave Ballantyne continued the demonstration on Friday and Saturday of last week after Paul Connolly returned to Boston.

Several new Founding members were signed up at the S&WCA meeting and two more commitments have been made to become Founding members before the end of June. A regular member was signed up and a donation made by a current member.
