ANTIQUE CROSSTALKS
Virtually every organization has a newsletter that is distributed every so often for the education of the readers. Our club is certainly no different and our newsletter is certainly a place where a lot of history can be found.
This page, and others to follow, will contain every issue of Crosstalk that can be found and scanned into a computer. Each blue underlined month is a direct link to that particular year and month's issue of Crosstalk . There are some months that are missing as those issues are lost, at present. Any newly found issues will be added as they come.
As time goes by, and I get a better feel for how much storage space we will be using on our site, I may be able to start linking archived years of Crosstalk in order for someone to download a year at a time if they so wish. As I stated on the opening page, this is a work in progress and this page will probably be changing more often, and more rapidly, than any other.
Good reading - Art
UPDATE:
Since the beginning of the club in April, 1959, there have been 604 issues of Crosstalk put together, edited, typed, printed, and circulated either by U.S. mail or e-mail. Of those 604 issues 569 of them can be found on the ensuing pages of ANTIQUE CROSSTALK. There are only 35 issues that remain missing and I'm hoping that maybe a longtime member or former member may look in their storage and turn up an issue or two and allow me to digitize it for the archives.
The following is the list of missing Crosstalks:
1960 - February, March, April, May, June, & August
1963 - January
1968 - June, August & September
1973 - March & April
1976 - August
1978 - August
1979 - September
1980 - September
1990 - June
1994 - November
1995 - February
1997 - April, September & October
1998 - June, July, August & September
1999 - May, June & Septemebr
2000 - August, October & November
2001 - June, October & December
I would like to see the missing issues turn up so we have every issue ever printed but the fact we have as many as we do is still rather remarkable.
Next winter I'll be back into the archives again to see what else I can dig up in our history and then put it into a digital format for posterity.
