Far West - Archaeological Societies and Association Newsletters - Leads and Info?

[PacificNorthWest-Relics]

I'm always on the look out for older monthly newsletters that were put out by the old regional archaeological groups here in the Northwest. These newsletters contain a wealth of information that can not be found in print anywhere else. Here is my list of known regional newsletters:

• Oregon Archaeological Society, Newsletter Screenings - Newsletter years 1952 to current: Covered the Columbia River, Oregon Desert regions. The group is still active, but no longer a collectors group.
• Mid-Columbia Archaeological Society Newsletter - Hard to find, Newsletter years late 1950s to 1970s: Covered the Columbia Plateau region. The group is disbanded
• Lewis and Clark Archaeological Society Newsletter - Hard to find, Newsletter years late 1971 to 1973: Covered the Columbia River, Oregon Desert regions. The group is disbanded
• Great Basin Natural History Association, Newsletter Rimrock Register - Newsletter years late 1970s to 1990s: Covered the Great Basin region. The group is disbanded.

Please post any information you have about known archaeological groups who put out a newsletter. I like to learn if there are more Association/Society out there to keep an eye open for

It isn't a newsletter, but I have a book on crescents published by TULARG in 2010.

I couldn't provide a link to my search results, but if you copy the following text and paste in the keyword search box it should work.

Ditto on that one...David got my mind moving with this thread..GREAT topic from sources that sadly are all but gone and the info is leaving the collective of minds fast

homestyle - it sounds like you do a fair bit of reading. I'll be looking forward to meeting up with you next month. We can sit down to talk shop and compare notes.

Trask - If you run across newsletters from these groups (Ebay sometimes has them) - snach them up. The information the older newsletters contain is priceless. I believe OAS still sell on their website the early years of Screenings, Publication No. 10 (covers 1951 - 1955). The others groups I list are tough to find, but they do come-up once in a while.

Yes I do, when I can find reading material. Thanks for the tip on Screenings. I'm looking forward to getting together too!

Here is a link to some newsletters that can be purchased called Diggers Digest published by the Northwestern Archaeological Society in the 1960's.
