Thanks folks. The main reason I don't favor U. of I. is that my collection and theirs include many duplications. I have made inquiries at a couple institutions and learned that archivists typically aren't Greek and have little interest in f/s history. The Illinois archive evolved because a couple fraternity leaders pushed them into it and also got a couple collections to start it. I supoose it would take an aggressive local Greek to push the idea to their U. library. At my age I'm not inspired to create a new book like Baird's -- the material is an entire file drawer!
