I feel the "gathering" of all that we need can and should be done by "us" and with enough folks already getting excited about this project, I, for one, will do a bunch of stuff, if a volunteer is needed for AKC won't do any of the work for this. What AKC will do is archive historical items for us. AKC can store things so they won't deteriorate, etc. AKC already has the Review but things like the Redbook, Gail Sprock's magazine, etc., would be good to have archived at AKC if AKC is willing to take them. Then we would know where at least one copy is. Since AKC is primarily interested in Club records, it would also be good if we could find a central place to store items which would be of interest to future generations of GSD breeders and owners.
