Andrew, I have an almost complete set Newsletter.
Andrew, so it would appear that there is an 'almost' complete set. The only problem I foresee is that a scan generates quite a large file. Of the ones I have scanned they come out at about 30 megabyte per issue, done at a resolution of 300dpi, greyscale and then 'zipped'. So 25 years worth would require around 3 gigabytes, 4-5 CDs or one DVD.
When I used to send items for publication I sent them in Word format and the pictures/drawings seperately. My assumtion being that in recent years the newsletter has been compiled in some electronic format. These original files should be a lot smaller, although that won't help with the earlier issues.
I don't like the News Letters to leave my home. I lost already too many books and paperwork.
I know that problem all too well! You lend a book to a friend, then they lend it to someone else and so on. You end up losing it altogether. Now I don't lend them out at all. "Go buy it yourself." is my usual response. Anti-social, maybe, but when I think of some of the valuable texts I've lost over the years...I feel my attitude is justified.

P.S. By 'valuable', I don't mean in a fiscal sense, but the content.
