Summary

In August 1964 the Beaver Beacon asked readers to provide missing back issues to the Beaver Island Historical Society. The Society specifically sought issues from January 1956 through May 1959 and December 1962; the same notice listed a longer set of missing issues requested by Doyle C. Fitzpatrick.

Evidence and limits

The notice documents a preservation appeal, not a record that the requested issues were found or transferred. The surviving archive may therefore differ from the list printed in 1964.

Sources

  1. Requests January 1956 through May 1959 and December 1962 issues for the Historical Society and lists additional missing issues sought by Doyle C. Fitzpatrick. It records an appeal, not delivery of the issues or a complete surviving archive inventory.
