Preserved to Serve: The Massachusetts Preservation Agenda, announced on p. 42 in the last issue, is available from Gregor Trinkaus-Randall at the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, 648 Beacon St., Boston, MA 02215-2070 (617/267-9400).
Last fall, subscribers were invited to fill out a form for inclusion in a preservation directory which would give their address, phone, fax and Email address. It would also list their job function, activities and interests.
The directory sat on the back burner for so long, because of the move to Austin, that a number of corrections had to be made to update the listings, but it did get printed and was recently sent without charge to all 131 of the people listed in it.
The editor and trustees of Abbey Publications, Inc., a nonprofit corporation, want to express our appreciation for support received from the people and organizations listed below as well as from those who gave smaller amounts.
All donations are considered as going to Abbey Publications (thus contributing to both the Abbey Newsletter and the Alkaline Paper Advocate). In the last 12 months, a total of $4417 has been received.
Donors are listed below as Benefactors ($1000+), Sponsors ($500+), Patrons ($100+), and Contributors ($25+).
