Many Ballard researchers, myself included, have been fortunate enough to have
had documents or other items "passed down" in the family or have
actively searched them out and purchased them. If you have an
"heirloom" that you would like to share with the Ballard community
please get in touch and I will feature it here. In the interests of security I
will not say where it is held - just in case one of you really does have the
family jewels and no burglar alarm! Also, some people have Ballard material that
is not related to their line and which they are prepared to offer to other
Ballard researchers at a fair price.
