[TN-Bird] TOS Archives and Collections

In 1970 I delivered a Swainson's Warbler tower kill from Savannah, (Hardin Co) 
TN to Albert Ganier, the TOS Curator at the time.  Mr. Ganier told me that his 
will provided for the TOS collection to go to the University of Louisiana at 
his death.  Although he was well into retirement at the time, he may have 
continued as curator quite a few more years after 1970.  I suggest contacting 
the University.  The collection may be identified as Mr. Ganier's personal 
collection, but it was the TOS collection, or at least included TOS artifacts.  
As I recollect it filled a small room and had some nice items.

In a related vein, I wonder if anyone knows what may have happened to Amelia 
Laskey's bird records.  She had a large room in her home fitted with stacks 
like a library, with hundreds of 3-ring binders of her notes, very well 
organized.  This was of course a private library, but I hope it is preserved 
and available somewhere.
