Yes,  there is a location on the internet, called the "Way Back Machine",

has 85 billion web pages stored.

I am mentioning it,  because there may be AIS chairpersons, and Region 
officers and chairman,  who might find some value in looking up internet web 
page  history.

Have fun for today!

Kitty,
 
Wow!  Thanks for this information.  Now if we just had something  like this 
for all our past AIS Bulletins.  The indexes are of some use but  are very 
incomplete, dependent as they were on the individual data input  person and their 
interpretation of what constituted an "article."  Many,  many "articles" were 
not in the Bulletin Table of Contents.  I do a lot of  historical writing and 
don't have all the past AIS Bulletins.  Therefore, I  frequently ask the AIS 
Librarian to research items for me out of the  basement.  Sometimes it takes 
two or three tries to get what should be  there somewhere.  Past complete 
official AIS Minutes (not edited or  abridged versions usually in the Bulletins) and 
Committee Reports are  problematic at best, completely missing at worst.  
Most people probably  don't care, but as historical references they have some 
importance to some of  us.
