Hello all,

Truman State's Historical Society was revived around two years ago after a few
years' dormancy.  We've not had our first meeting of the year yet, but some of
us turned out to greet new history majors during freshman week.

I'm guessing that we'll probably keep up with the two efforts we've been at
these last two years.  We have been helping the university's atchivist clean up
and re-catalog the collection of the currently-defunct Violette Museum.  Years
ago, the basement it was in flooded, and the collection was haphazardly stored
elsewhere.  Truman this year opened another museum/admissions center, so we
might get involved with that.

The Historical Society also has tried to mentor our fellow younger history
majors, but we haven't had much success with that.  I'd like to hear from the
list about your respective clubs' effort in this area.

Thanks!
