Vall ...

I thinks it's great you got that response from the NorthWest. I had a very different experience here in Illinois.

Last year I bought a large composite photo of the Joliet Sharpshooters dated 1866. I contacted the Joliet Historical Society who had no idea such an organization existed. They didn't have a single document in their archives.

When I researched the Chicago Schuetzen Verein, Palos Historical Society was very polite but I had to pay them to scan their photos for articles, even though I gave them copies of photos they did not have.

Chicago Historical Society ignored any gun club related requests ... it's a shame.

Joe,
I wasn't asked for any compensation from either NW historical societies, or our own PNW Oregon City Historical society. But I was treated so well by all of them, and appreciated the info that was so extremely helpful documenting provenance, that I just felt compensation should given without a request.
I've been extremely fortunate in my lifetime of gun collecting to stumble across a number of firearms that could be traced to excellent provenance. I've also hit my share of dead ends too. So whenever I can get some help, I appreciate it.
And ASSRA having Michael's records will someday help people if they know the records are there, and available.
