Preservation of LLA History

     During the summer, the LLA History Committee met over lunch to talk about preserving LLA history. Marshall Anspach's volume, Historical Sketches of the Bench and Bar of Lycoming County, Pennsylvania; 1795-1960, was published in 1961 and updated and reprinted by the Bar History Committee in 1989. The Committee decided that the time has come to prepare an update to Historical Sketches, with an anticipated publication date of 2004. Later this year the Committee will distribute questionnaires to current members for the purpose of updating biographical information. Look for the questionnaire in the next month or so, and please take the time to respond so that the update will be complete.
 
     The Committee will also begin to compile photographs and other materials to begin to preserve the rich and interesting history Lycoming County bench and bar. These materials will be published on the Lycolaw Website. The LLA presently offers some historical data on its history page at www.lycolaw.org/history/history.html . The Committee hopes to "beef up" the material offered there to prevent the loss of significant historical data from the ravages of time. If you can provide materials that are of historical significance and wish to have these materials published, contact LLA President Gary Weber (gweber@lycolaw.org) to make arrangements to have the materials scanned and added to the database. Any item used will be returned after scanning.
