packet archive, free to a good home
Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2011 9:40 pm
Berkeley's paper packet archive is currently sitting on the floor of my apartment. Surely some quizbowl historian out there is interested in taking these packets off my hands.
I'm looking for someone interested in (eventually) scanning these packets and posting them on one of the (digital) archives. Failing that, at least someone with greater patience for archiving paper packets. Interested parties should email me and I'll send packets media mail.

1994 Berry Southeastern/Early Bird (just the Georgia Tech packet)
1995 ACF Regionals (bonus #22 from round 16; not on the archive)
4. Miscellany (because there isn't yet a quizbowl archaeology subforum to cross-post to)
Three large folders:
4a. "Orphaned packets" (at least we know what tournament they belonged to)
4b. "Packets from unknown tournaments"
4c. "Fragments of packets"
