[Bell Historians] Ringing worlds and reports

[Tim Jackson]

I wonder if anyone else is still trying to complete their paper collection.
I am currently about 100 issues short, 1934 and earlier plus two missing
from 1943.
 
I have also amassed a huge pile of duplicates from 1916 to the present day.
I guess these will end up in landfill.

As an historian I absolutely see the value of having the original documents,
but as a researcher who is always pushed for time, the PDF versions are a
Godsend as they are searchable and you can find what you are looking for in
a fraction of the time it takes to search manually.

  I presume this is a common situation without an ideal solution. The RWs
from Old North (Boston Massachusetts) date back to the late 1970s. They are
in plastic tubs in my basement, which might not be perfect storage
conditions, but whenever I suggest getting rid of them, the archivally
trained people say that electronic versions are no substitute. Not that
anybody ever drops by to look something up…

Our tower has decided to dispose of its old copies of old publications,
including: The Ringing World, OddBob (ODG newsletter) and Sonning Deanery
newsletter. 

Not sure of the exact dates without emptying all the boxes but going back
to at least the early 90s, and probably a decade earlier.

If anyone is interested in them please let me know.
