A preview of our Archiving Project is attached.  If it is not allowed to come

through e-mail me and I will forward to you.  A simple letter from 1946

looking for a site for the summer session and stating a dream for a

permanent home.

I have dreams of the unirondack.org based archive having several sections, including our

collection of historic documents, photos showing camp through the years,

photos of Workers and work projects, written history through stories

from contributors, photos from camp sessions/ camper/staffer photos

through the years.  Video's from camp movies/videos.  Other categories

of interest.

you can see some old photos and other galleries on the photo section right now!

I have just sent Marcus over 90 photos of Leining Building project, from

ripping the old building down to the construction of the new building.

I am searching for any known photos of Adam Farington's various projects

and art he created at camp.

If you have stories you have written or adventures you need to document,

write them down and send them to me.  These stories and memories will

constitute the living history of the camp.

I need to locate Eric Nasemann to get the original Hydofax story, if

anyone can connect me with him.

I need Renna K/B to document the building of the largest Hydrofax

recreation that I know of.  We do have photos of this as it was recycled

for use in the first #4 Parade the camp entered, in 1988 at the first

staff reunion.

think of what happened the week when you were at camp and document it

for us.

some stories needed:

the Waffler

the Meteor on the field

Lisa's Airplane ride home from camp (1980)

Telephone service to the Island

The Microburst, and the family camp with no power

Building the lean-to 1981-1983

Building the crew shop

55 years of other camping, adventures and your stories

stories from, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s

take care,

Devin
