Vol. 28, #2, Spring 1992, p. 640.

"Under a mutually beneficial agreement between the Hunterdon County
Historical Society and the Genealogical Society of Utah, the major
collections in the HCHS have been preserved on microfilm by GSU."

"The Collections the Crossleys (GSU) filmed are unique in that the
data therein is not readily available elsewhere. Filiming these
irreplaceable documents affords protection of our collections in
the event a disaster strikes our library, as the information has been
preserved on film. The Deats Genealogical Files, notebooks,
tombstone inscriptions, Family Records Collections, Frank Ellsworth
Burd card files of marriages [1875-1900] and obituary files [ca. 1900-
1984], finding aids, card catalog, manuscript groups 0001-0054,
Bunn Family Papers loaned to the Society for filming by Mrs.
Marion M. Stults, and a few selecte bound manuscripts comprise
the contents of the collections filmed."

"The Genealogical Society of Utah maintains master negatives of
each film and is proviing our Society with a copy of each of the 114
reels the Crossleys filmed. GSU may place the films at their main
facility in Salt Lake City as well as in Family History centers through-
out the country so that people oing genealogical research may access
our materials."

This is just my opinion and you need not have to agree with it.

We still need the Hunterdon County Historical Society. They have been
preserving our past for over 100 years. If you have not become a member,
please consider doing so.
