Craig Lahm, Julie Coenen and Jim Severson will get together to talk about the Oral History Program.
Rebecca Welhouse will try to transcribe the oral histories. Maybe we can apply for a grant from the KEEN Foundation for a digital transcription device.
Don Kessler may be able to help us with translating the German newspapers.
Tom Duescher will investigate how we would get the Kaukauna Times into www.newspaper.archives.com
Tom reported the KAHS web site is receiving 20 to 25 hits per day.
There are 5,000 to 6,000 photos from St. Mary's and Holy Cross cemeteries. We need someone with keyboarding skills to work on this project.
In the fall newsletter we will ask for volunteers to maintain the historic markers in the City.
Carol Van Boxtel will talk to the newspaper about our military letters she has collected.
