Barry

This is an annotated version of the contents of the BGA Archive. It was prepared by Harry Fearnley, a former BGA Archivist in early 2001.

There are 3 proposed categories:

Items that I propose be sold, given away, or destroyed - this would include several duplicates, as well as material that seems to be of little lasting quality/interest (e.g. Go Weekly). Maybe we could offer most of the (non-Japanese) foreign language stuff to the appropriate national Go Association, before offering it for sale?

These are marked -

Material of doubtful interest/value - probably the largest category, by volume. I would like to include most of the John Barrs Japanese stuff in this category.

These are marked ?

Material of lasting value/ interest

These are marked +

I was guided in making the above categorization by ideas in this very tentative outline:

The BGA Archive shall contain:

All BGA Council Minutes books.
All substantive BGA publications, including the British Go Journal, as well as any books and booklets (perhaps excluding the newsletter).
Documents relating to the founding of the BGA and its very early history.
Newspaper and magazine reports on Go in the British Press - similarly in foreign publications if they explicitly relate to the UK.
Substantive published material relating to British Go events, or by British residents - e.g. Trigantius Tournament booklets; John Fairbairn's publications.
A library of all Go books published in the English Language.
A collection of all magazines on Go published in the English language.
