Re: anyone collecting on covered bridges?



Hi, Michelle--I know the Indiana Historical Society has a covered bridge
interest and a lot of people go there to do research on covered bridges (I
just left there for Butler after 15 years!).  If you decide to give up any
of the collection, you might want to contact Glenn McMullen, the curator of
manuscripts; Leigh Darbee, curator of printed collections; or Stephen
Fletcher, curator of visual collections, depending on what most of the
materials are.  The covered bridge stuff gets a lot of use at ye olde IHS.
Thanks!

Subject: anyone collecting on covered bridges?


Hello,

We have recently culled from an attic a collection on covered bridges.
The collection include photographs and notes on the construction of
covered bridges, mostly in Indiana, but also in the rest of the Midwest
as well as the eastern US.  It's not exactly in our line of collecting
materials.  Is there anyone out there that does collect specifically in
the area of covered bridges?  There has been talk here of pulling the
Indiana-related materials for our collection but if someone would want
the entire collection, I would prefer to keep it all together.  Let me
know at Mmumaw@mcc.mccoak.org.

Thanks!
