Committee or Officer
COMMITTEE OR OFFICER SCOPE:
From the MSERA Bylaws: The Historian shall maintain an archival repository of historical
records and documents of the Association as specified by the Board in an electronic form.
ACTIONS SINCE LAST REPORT:
During the past several months, I have continued to collect and organize the paper
copies of historical records and documents, especially those from previous Board
and Annual meetings. During the next few months, these documents will be scanned,
saved as individual pdf copies, organized by meeting and sent to David Morse for
posting on the website in the MSERA Historian’s Archives http://www.msera.org/historian.htm. After that, I will be communicating with the
Board and Chairpersons asking for a review of what has been gathered to provide
guidance on 1) what would be helpful to try to obtain from the past and 2) what
should be maintained in the future.
ACTIONS TO BE CONSIDERED:
Because the wiki materials are not open to all members of MSERA, I request
guidance on what period of time after a Board meeting should elapse to allow for
any corrections before either 1) electronically moving the documents to the MSERA
website historical archives or 2) electronically copying the documents and having
them posted to the MSERA website historical archives?
Submitted respectfully,
Jane Nell Luster
