History

• History Committee Purpose and Methods

  Purpose: The JRCLS History Committee was established in 2010 with the purpose of preserving historical information pertaining to the formation of the Society and its local chapters. The committee is also working to establish a systematic method for chapters to record and preserve historical information hereafter.

  Methods: To date, the History Committee has compiled historical information pertaining to the JRCLS by 1) interviewing persons instrumental in establishing the Society, transcribing those interviews, editing, and posting them to the Society's website; 2) compiling and formatting historical documents to be posted electronically to the Society's website; 3) collecting responses to questionnaires from local chapters; and 4) preparing an online form whereby chapters can record and submit historical information to the Society's website in the future.
