Well it was bound to happen I suppose, and it looks like it has happened for sure. The shuttle that we use to capture and send the digitized images to Salt Lake city office has wandered off. It arrived in SLC ok and according to their records it was sent to us and was supposedly delivered to the Archives, but no one has seen it. Oops! I wonder who has it?
We are now working on records that the earliest date is January 1816. These books are terribly fragile and the ink is fading fast. If the digitized image does not come out as expected, then we do not know what else to do to preserve the information that is in these books. I must say that the quality of the paper is wonderful - it has a high rag content.
Bill spent the morning at the car repair place and supposedly we have a car that is pretty much put back together. I hope that Bill does not hotrod in the snow again and wreck the front end.
The snow that was forecast for today did not come.
