The basement is just that. Lots of olf fraternity records down there, stuff like minutes from GHZ meetings from the sixties (which is where I found the 1909 constitution) old C & C magazines - like I said, a typical basement.

The sad thing is that it really isn't organized very well.

I had a specific research topic in mind when I went down there - I was looking for supporting documentation and notes regarding the various amendments made to the constitution and stat code, specifically why and when and who engineered their merger into a single document. I never did find what I was looking for.

The basement at HQ isn't conducive to research and I doubt that they want guys wandering in to paw through the stuff. A specific research request worked for me and it was a topic of interest and relevance to the standing committee on the constitution, and hence, of relevance to the GHZ. A request to look through boxes to find stuff for X-Y-Z-Zeta would likely not be well received.
