[Lnc-business] LP History and archiving

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

Yes that is what I was thinking but perhaps some their ideas might come out
thinking out of the box.  Obviously this is a passion of mine, but if I am
alone in this, alas, it is a dream that will die.

You knkw me better than most LNC members (as does Nick) and knows this
isn't a passing fancy.  LP history and platforms are my passions.

This ties in nicely into the LP archive site and LPedia.

I want to thank Wes who went above and beyond in escorting myself and Susan
Hogarth in surveying what is available.  What we have is much more
extensive than the general party members think there is.

Digitizing may also save us space.  I am hoping some caucuses might find
such a project as a way to give back to the Party in a good will
non-factional project.

Big shocker but I did chair the LPCO Historical Committee - we are still
archiving but have some wonderful CO history here:

Mostly thanks to LPCO activist David Aitken.  Unfortunately a lot was lost
due to spoilage from mouse urine and feces.  The national records are in
excellent shape.
