Folks -

The AAO has hired me to finish off the MAIG Directory of institutions
with municipal archival materials.  Thanks to all who completed profile
questionnaires and sent them to Bruce Beacock.  We need, though to have
ALL member institutions with these holdings complete one.  To date, 34
have been received; by my calculations after going through the online
directory on the AAO website, there are just under 100 member
institutions with municipal records.  Only those profiles received by
March 28th will be included.so.if you haven't done so, please fill out
the profile questionnaire below and send it by return e-mail to me ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

Cheers!
