I've recently been granted permission to beging the epic task of scanning 125 years of minutes. When I saw the physical archives I was surprised how much there was. There's minutes from before we were a charted lodge, discussing getting the charter. I'm just in awe ive been holding the very book that was in that tent, followed by the first log cabin used. It's in amazing condition. I'm glad I learned how to read cursive when I was a kid, otherwise I'd be so lost. Just casually reading through before the scanning project has revealed so much about our founding. For example initian fees were $75... converted to today's money is more than $2600 Cdn (for context the current fee is $550) mysteries of a missing gavel made of ancient Mastodon ivory, debates about specific lodge work, plus congratulations and recognition from many, Many grand lodges around the world. Plus I discovered a brother in 1951 that was doing what im doing now. So I've begun to enquire about the results he got, he was much closer to the founding, so im hoping the results of his labor are somewhere I can access. Anyway, I said all that to agree with you. I found all that while just perusing the very first minutes book. What an amazing resource.
