Original Message:   I did a little of this already

When researching phenolic beads, I searched BCN and printed out every thread I could find on the subject. It was very tedious and comprised about a 2" stack of paper. Here's what I suggest - divide and conquer. If you have a favorite bead topic, or BCN forum member, conduct searches, copy everything into a Word file, then edit it. Create your own mini archive on your topic. The people volunteering to do this can agree on a format, like Blurb, and then start publishing the BCN Archive series. But, it may be more practical to do as Chris suggests and have this project be only electronic. However that involves Joyce and David using more of their time & energy & money to host the separate archives somehow. To do any one topic will be a "labor of love" and will require a large commitment of time, I'm afraid...Fred, I think you should do the "ojime" archive!
