Exclam! will be preserved in the Manitoba Legislative Library

J. Ken MacDonald, with some help from a few friendly Manitobans, has done the work to bring together a complete collection of Exclam! (and its previous incarnation). The latest news has Ken arranging to preserve the entire collection in the publicly accessible Manitoba Legislative Library.

The Library website is over here.

Here's what Ken wrote in ChessTalk:

My thanks to our friends in Winnipeg who helped me complete my run of this fine publication.

I have found someone who wants to accept/preserve the complete run of this publication. Matthew Handscombe has told me they will become a part of the Manitoba Legislative Library. They will rest among the largest collection of Manitoba newspapers in the world.

They have just been sent to him, but eventually will be found at:

If anyone could help me determine where Quebec or British Columbia chess newsletters might or might not be maintained, I would try them next.

Well done, Ken!
