William T. Powers archives

Hi Barb,

I certainly hope (an oxymoron?) to make it.

    Allie and I had done some research last fall, and

there are several good hotel possibilities with breakfast and
conference accommodations, some within walking distance of NU,
some within easy access (inside 20 minutes driving). When we
get to the point of discussing an actual plan, those details can
come together.

      Also, I realized next spring is busy for our family, so I

wonder how Fall of 2017 might sound.

                Thanks,

Barb; I look forward to having access to the
archive.

                As

for having a CSG meeting at/near Northwestern, great
idea! But is there anyone in the vicinity who would
be willing to do the groundwork?

                Good morning... I just got off

the phone with the archivist, Kevin Leonard, at
Northwestern University. The latest update on the
archive project is that it is very nearly ready,
basically usable. They are fine-tuning at this point
before “going live.”

                      There will be an online

index by which you may search for items. Then
a request may be made for them to pull and
scan the document. There will be some
limitations as to availability, dependent in
part on whether it is being used for research,
or intended to be part of another
publication. For the most part, quotes or
parts of publications may be fairly readily
available. Release of entire papers or
publications will require permission from a
family member. That process will be made
known when the archives are officially
available.

                      Kevin also mentioned they

have found a number of other references to Dad
in other archives at the university, in the
course of organizing his work. I know there is
information on a few of his patents, as well
as references to his days working with J.
Allen Hynek at the observatory. I’m curious
to see what else is there!

                      I'm also wondering if there

is interest among you to start thinking about
a csg conference in the Chicago area, either
at or near the university, perhaps next spring
or fall. I liked Rick’s idea to have a crash
course in PCT for newbies, and other ideas
would of course be welcome. By the time we put
something together, we’d be able to access
papers in the archive room on campus.

                      At any rate, this is very

exciting, to know all those many files and
boxes of papers will be safely and neatly
stored for all time! Stay tuned for another
update in the near future…

Truncate that URL to https://findingaids.library.northwestern.edu/

There’s a search field there. Enter William T. Powers.

The top item in the search results is the front page of the archive.
