Theos-Talk Archives (March 2011 Message tt00056)

On visiting Point Loma publication, one learns that much of their inventory
was lost due to fire accident. This is yet another reason why digital files
distributed around the world guaranttees all material is available for
posterity.

I think it is the duty of all of us to support efforts to digitize and thus
make available valuable material for posterity. It may be a forlorn hope,
but is going to happen in the coming years.
