Alumni March Newsletter Dear Milne Alumni and Supporters, In this issue: * Digitization Project Update * Good News from George HOUSTON, '59 * Sad News DIGITIZATION PROJECT UPDATE Our new total, thanks to a donation from Doris EINSTEIN Miller, '48, is $15,240! We need under $10,000 more, so if you haven't yet donated or wish to make an additional contribution, please consider doing so now. For an updated list of donations see https://www.albany.edu/~milne/DigitizationDonations.pdf. Click here for the first group of Milne "stuff" to be digitized and uploaded. Please note that the website developers have added a link to the "Milne School Murals and Friezes." It's such fun to see Milne School documents online...and all documents are searchable. Be sure to "bookmark" the above link for future reference. The developers continue to "tweak" the site so that it's more user-friendly. In addition, images of Milne sports trophies will soon be added. It will be wonderful to have all these Milne School memories available to us at all times! But remember...we're not finished yet! Donations are still needed so that we are able to complete this project. If we, as Milne School Alumni, don't ensure that our memorabilia is preserved...who will? For further information, see https://www.albany.edu/~milne/Project.shtml. GOOD NEWS! George HOUSTON, '59, recently published Inside Roman Libraries: Book Collections and Their Management in Antiquity (University of North Carolina Press, November 2014). This is a scholarly book, but it is written to be accessible to anyone who is interested in libraries, books, literacy, the Roman Empire, and so on. It can be ordered from the University of North Carolina Press or from Amazon.
