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.

John, while I am sure you are totally correct, there is a need for it along with papers and Pins and Badges that need to be catagorized.
There have been many items donated and are placed in "The Basement".
Granted there is a lack of space on the main floor, it is still one of the most important parts of what We as LXA and Brothers is all about.
I know if memory serves me right, that some of the GC Brothers are of the same interest as you.
It also did not seem that well received about fing the Site of Warren Colle, but now it is History that has been found and documentated. That is the most important part is it not?
I am sure that there would be a few who would have and experience of a life time to be turned loose there!
Just do waht you do so well!!!!!
