Bill, Wasn't there some issues with the first two publications? I have heard stories that they weren't published and the they had the same articles or were just test runs. Chris

My hat is off to those who had the patience to scan those 1523 pages! This appears to be just the first two (original) volumes and does not include the 1921 and 1958 supplements. —Bill

The 1901 version of the legal history is accessible on Google Books. https://books.google.com/books/about/A_History_of_the_Legal_Development_of_th.html?id=0IkjAQAAMAAJ Tracey Green

As info… Before the unbound copies of the “History” were given to SRHA, the decision was vetted and approved by the NS Law Dept. In particular, one of the Lawyers, Mr. Jim Squires, was

I have had good luck dealing with the UNC Wilson Library. It takes them a while to answer questions but the information is great. Mike

Wow, Ike!!!! What a revelation. Wonder how the UNC Library came across it? Interesting stuff!!!!!! David

My father did a synopsis of Fairfax Harrison's work for some project. He had to jump through hoops to get the loan of a copy in the '60's. CEA

At one time in the early 1970's I asked the University of Georgia Libraries to search for a copy that they could borrow in inter-library library loan that I could use and they could not find a single

I agree with what is being discussed. I think we could change the membership dues to reflect those that would do a lot of research and having that access to the digital archives as a benefit. Those

I agree with the suggestion to make the entire archive (for all years) available in a digital form such as PDF. It is essential IMHO that a digital archive be searchable. I would prefer a download

A great idea, especially if scanned in searchable PDF format and uploaded to the website and/or flash drive. Marv Clemons

Great idea, but it needs to be done the right way. Doing one CD per year? No thanks. It would be better to offer the entire collection as one digital download, on a flash drive, or at worst, data

I still have a few dozen from my dad and they are a fascinating look into the past. However…. I am not sure I would buy more than a few because I have enough stuff and as they are interesting I
