I’m sure you know the importance of the newsletter in recording the history of our Association. It is our ambition to create an available resource about our community as well as providing information to the larger community. The FHA, through its new archiving project, has been sorting and counting issues of the newsletter and has set guidelines for preserving a sufficient number of each issue. We continue to search for old FHA newsletters in order to create several complete sets beginning with the first issue on 19 March 1963. At this point only one complete, original set exists. The more issues we get from you increases the number of original sets, and fewer issues will have to be photocopied. The early years are in very short supply.
- #1 March 29, 1963 to #67 June 1976. 85 % of those issues are missing!
- Many issues from Dec 1976 through 1979 are missing.
- I find it surprising that in the years from 1980 to 1999 there are missing issues.
- #90 Oct Nov 1981
- #91 May 1984
- #104 Apr 1987
- #109 Sept 1988
- #110 Dec 1988
- #120 Holiday 1992
- #129 Spring 1997
- #133 Spring 1999
Think of how much lighter your house will be. Thank you for your help to the association.
