[OLCOOT1@xxxxxxx]

Chuck,

While we have your attention. May I assume you are still the curator for TOS 
as listed in the latest issue of the Migrant? It seems that on over 16 
occasions, that I know of, in over a one year period, questions about the 
archives were sent to both of your "e" addresses.

 (cpnichol@xxxxxxxxxxxxx & cpnicholson@xxxxxxx)

These were sent by two different secretaries of the TOS bird records 
committee. All of these inquiries not only went unanswered but were not even 
acknowledged. These "e" mails asked the question as to how one would get 
access to the TOS record archives. I had requested this info from the record 
committee secretaries in order to research some records for possible future 
articles for the Migrant, after a contact from Chris Welsh, the present 
Editor.

I am sure there are other TOS members that might be interested in these 
procedures and the location of these archives, so I'm posting this here. It 
seems it would be one of the duties of the curator (or the President of TOS) 
to answer questions presented by the Records Committee members or at least 
acknowledge them as a courtesy. I believe a good and close relationship 
between the two entities would be essential for TOS and its records. 

I was told by Chris Welsh, after this matter was brought to his attention, 
that he then tried to find these records at UT Knoxville and at that time no 
one there knew where they were? I would hope that they have been found by now 
and access can be attained with your help. 

Please reply to the list so others may be aware of these procedures.

Good Birding!!!
