Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Susan,
Thank you. I will let them know at the archives and have them contact you if they need anything.

Just so you know, I found that same law last year and presented it to the Shelby COunty Commisioners when I was trying to work with them on this issue as a representative of the Shelby County Genealogical Society. Good work, Melinda. As to the mold: light bleach water and damp cloths will deal with it and letting the books dry out will stop new growth, per the Health Department. We have some contributions toward the cost of cleaning the books. Please let us know if we can help in any way.

John,
They didn't seem to be concerned about it. It seems that the person who came down from the 'state' to examine the books in the first place was not from the archives. They are looking in to it to see who it was that came to Shelby County. People at the archives said that they knew nothing about this situation. They suspect that it was someone from the 'state' (not associated with the archives)....most likely from the courthouse. They will know more later and be able to figure out why we were misled about these books.
Melinda

What did they say about the MOLD? I thought that was one of the biggest
challenges? I can't believe any state agency wouldn't be terrified of that
issue. I'm not personally concerned about it, understand, but I know the
problems with state officials, liability, and mold.

Hey, Shelbers.............
I wanted to give you an update on the book situation. Phyllis and I have been trying to keep a lid on this for the last week and believe me....it's been difficult to do. I am finishing up my internship at the Indiana Historical Society. My final project was to write a brief article and transcribe the inventory list of the books. This article will appear on the Indiana Historical Society web site under the Online Connections. When discussing the details with my supervisor, she asked me to send her an e-mail summarizing what I had told her and to include a condensed list of the books in the lean-to. She then forwarded the e-mail to her supervisor and two other people in charge of collections and preservation. She received an immediate response from one of them who then met with her in her office. He told her what she needed to do to follow the proper channels so that that this can be resolved. The bottom line is that Indiana state law provides for the
protection/maintenance/preservation of all public records. It is the county's responsibility to do something to preserve these records. If they are not in a position to perserve these records, the responsibility lies with the state. A determination is made as to the historical value of the books. For example, if there are books in the inventory that are blank or if there are some that have no dates or names, they might determine that these are books that should be destroyed. Any books that are set aside to be destroyed will be offered to the county genealogical society and historical society before they are destroyed. The records that will not be destroyed will go to the state archives.
Although it is early in the game (so to speak), the bottom line is that thise books will be saved!!! By this time next year, they should be safely stored in the state archives and available to the public. Ideally, it would be great if we could get these books digitized or microfilmed before this happens, but Phyllis told me that the earliest that LDS could get there to microfilm the books would be 6 months. Ultimately, the state archivist has done a wonderful job at getting books digitized.....so, I have no doubt that eventually these books would be available online and possibly downloadable.
I know that the article in the Shelbyville News stated that the county was going to try to digitize/microfilm court records. However, I don't recall any mention of the records that are stored in the lean-to or the garage on the property of the former Manor. My guess would be that they intend to work with current records first....or records that are reaching the age where they will be put in storage soon, too.
I'm so happy that the people here at the Indiana Historical Society knew what to do....who to talk to....to get the ball rolling. I'm truly thankful that they listened. They have also offered to take any of the records that the state archives doesn't want and they will be glad to digitize or microfilm them, too. So....it looks like the books are going to get a happy ending....barring anything unforseen.

Story:
County moves forward on records storage
The Shelby County Board of Commissioners gave its approval Monday night to start a process to digitize all county court records, pending funding approval by the Shelby County Council.
Shelby Superior Court II Judge Russell J. Sanders told the commissioners he and an ad hoc committee created a couple months ago were overwhelmed by the legal red tape and options involved in digitally recording all court records.

I wonder:
1. How much money they will spend digitizing records that Phyllis has
already transcribed over the last 10+ years?
2. If they will digitize the old records at the county farm property? Heh
heh, good luck with that one!
3. Or will they just digitize records going forward?

They will start with the current records. It could be years before they get
to ours. (Unless we talk them into training one of us to do some work on
the side -- just a daydream.)
The immediate gain for us is that storage space will be "freed up" for our
records to properly housed.
And we can dream!
