Hello all,

     I know I keep popping in with this subject out of the blue, but
wanted to let the you know where the project stands.  We are about to
start and are just shy of the amount required for full EAS matching
funds.   We are going to hire a student to begin scanning volumes to
mount on the WWW.

   More information on the scope & intent of this project can be found
at http://www.easternapiculture.org/programs/

Here is our starting list of volumes which we hope to have mounted
ASAP.   If you have access from home you will be able to start reading
these titles on your computer perhaps by late summer, certainly by
Thanxgiving!

As always I or the library can answer any questions you might
have.-----Mike Griggs--President Finger Lakes Beekeepers
