NOW AVAILABLE - Exhibits on CD-ROM
The Exhibition Photocopy Service that many USSS members have taken
advantage of has expanded by offering select exhibits on
CD-ROM. This is a dream come true for all of our computer-savvy members
(and when I say "savvy," I mean anyone who can operate a mouse). All
that is required is Acrobat Reader, which is available as a free
download from Adobe. The CDs will feature full color PDFs that are
indexed and thumbnailed for easy navigating.
Our goal in providing these (and hopefully many more) exhibits on CD is
many-fold: some will use these CDs to improve their own exhibits, some
may start collecting a specialty or start exhibiting because of them,
and some may just view them for the sheer joy of eyeing a wonderfully
assembled collection. We urge all exhibitors that have earned a Vermeil
or higher at a national show, to consider making their exhibits
available to our members in this new format.
All requests for CDs should go to
Robert Toth at the address above. They
will also be available at major shows where USSS has a table.
If you have an exhibit that you are interested in making available to
the Society, please contact Frank Braithwaite by e-mail or at 631-265-4307
to make arrangements.

Orders for photocopies have been decreasing for the last few
years, in part due to the lack of new titles. With the
addition of the CD option, interest has increased over the
last few months. As more titles are added, this service will
become more valuable for our membership. For the period May
16, 2005 through April 22, 2006, we have provided the
following:

The number of orders is still very gratifying, since most of
the orders are coming from new members. To those few members
who have submitted exhibits, my sincere thanks. If you are
an exhibitor, or have exhibited before and still have your
exhibit intact, please contact me and we can discuss the
criteria and procedure. If your exhibit is to be sold or up
for auction, make a master copy so that the exhibit can be
added to the list before it's too late. A Society of our
size can surely come up with a much larger list of available
exhibits.
We now have thirteen exhibits to offer our members, an increase of three
from my last report. The number of orders is still very gratifying
since most of the orders are coming from new members. As I continually
mention to all who listen, "We need more exhibits." To those few
members who are participating, my sincere thanks. If you are an
exhibitor, or have exhibited before and still have your exhibit intact,
please contact me and we can discuss the criteria and procedure. A
Society of our size can surely come up with a much larger list of
available exhibits.
Considering that we have only ten exhibits to offer our members, this
number of orders is very gratifying. As I continually mention to all
who listen, "We need more exhibits." To those few members who are
participating, my sincere thanks. If you are an exhibitor, or have
exhibited before and still have your exhibit intact, please contact me
and we can discuss the criteria and procedure for making copies of your
exhibit available. A society of our size can surely come up with a much
larger list of available exhibits.
