<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hello all,<br><br></div>News from your far northeast Oregon compatriot. We have the shelves donated by Lewis & Clark College--about 180 linear feet of Estey metal one-sided shelving--almost filled, and many boxes of books from Alvin Josephy's libraries --he had one at his Greenwich, CT home and one here in Joseph--waiting to be shelved. Our next shelving move will be about 18 feet of double sided shelving. Preferably five or six feet high. That will double our shelving, and get us through most of the Josephy collections and other books that we have and are gathering. We also have a brand new custom made oak map case and file cabinet that will hold over 15 feet of hanging files--enough to get the papers, pamphlets, letters, and ephemera that we have on hand all cataloged and stored.<br>
<br></div>So the immediate need is for double sided shelving. Metal to match Estey would be grand. But other options will be considered. If anyone is changing out shelving and has some to donate or to sell at reasonable prices, please let me know.<br>
<br>thank you very much,<br>rich wandschneider<br><br></div>p.s., giving back: 1. our cabinet maker beat the heck out of catalog prices on the map/file cabinet--and it is beautiful. He also built us fine six by three oak library tables at less than catalog prices. Delivery time also impressive.<br>
<br></div>and giving back 2. A local volunteer has digitized all of the maps from Josephy's <i>Nez Perce Indians and the Opening of the Northwest. </i>No center-fold creases in the maps; authors and researchers interested in the history of the NW might be interested. Copyright is with the family, and use for other publications quite possible.<br>
