In answer to Todd Augsburger's concerns [030409 MMDigest]: loss
of historical information is extremely important to all of us
interested in these marvelous mechanical musical instruments.

I would encourage anyone having any documents that they want to see
safeguarded for future generations to donate them to an institution
such as DeBence Antique Music World Museum in Franklin, PA, where
they will be preserved for future generations.
