Our Projects
The LOBA archives collection currently consists of early
official
papers that include the association's constitutions of 1928, 1938, and
1953,
as well as a complete run of the LOBA Yearbook, first published in
1952;
the LOBA Minute Books which form a record of the Board of Directors'
meetings
and some other committee meetings, dating from 1961 to 2000; and a
complete
run of the LOBA's newsletter, Current Connections, which began
publishing
in 1987.
The papers of past presidents of the association include those
of
George Daniels (1988-90); Betty Day (1990-1992); Glen Newby
(1992-1994);
Doug Lawson (1994-96); Connie Briant (1999-2001); Karl Jaffary
(2001-2003). In addition, the collection has small files of material
from past presidents
J.S. Govan (1964-66), John Wachsmuth (1978-80), Robin Cumine (1982-84),
Paul
Tapley (1986-88), George Daniels (1988-90), Bill Rogers (1996-97),
Margaret
Casey (1997-99), and Barry Stephens (2003-05). Dates given are dates
for
their presidency.
The collection also includes materials collected by LOBA
members
for use in developing planning proposals and for its work protecting
the
interests of its members with regard to such matters as development,
water
quality and other environmental concerns, roads, taxes, built heritage,
safety,
recreation, etc. There are large files dealing with the redevelopment
of Bigwin Island, the Echo Valley Development and the Seabreeze Road,
as
well as other issues dating from the late 1980s to the present.
Projects completed and in progress:
The collection of papers has been organized and boxed in archival
document
cases. An outline of contents is available and a more detailed finding
aid
is being prepared. This finding aid should enable anyone consulting the
collection to locate relevant material to the box level, and in some
cases,
to the folder level.
The committee is actively soliciting additional donations of
papers
from past presidents and association officers. Earlier material
relating
to the LOBA is of particular importance as the early years of the
association
are not well documented in the present collection.
