My current plan is to publish the main information on this website as a relatively inexpensive black and white print on demand book. Significant effort will be required to copyedit, format, index, and develop a cover for the book. That effort will take some time. This website has the current version of the information.
In the meantime, I would appreciate learning about any spelling, typing, grammatical, or other errors in the writing on this website. Anyone who notices such errors can contact me at
Email: archivehistory@jeksite.org.Thanks.
