I know assistance has been offered. And I've read all the wailing and gnashing of teeth from Walt.
You suggest he just wanted it made unaccessible.
Walt
Why not take the necessary steps to make this research accessible?
Again, I refer to the ARRB and the work of Doug Horne--to place the information surrounding the murder of the people's president before the people.
Yet the protests of personal ownership of this information drown out the ARRB Act.
As for renewal, that would be predicated on whipping it out.
Failure to do so is a de facto admission Dawn's posit is correct.
Further this deponent sayeth not

Thanks, but I'm sure Walt no longer EVER looks here. He has sent me hate mail and you've seen what he posted here. If you want to have him hear, you'll have to find another venue...... He first told me I could and then told me I could not have access [paying copy costs or scanning costs] for the materials I long ago asked him for. To my knowledge, no one has ever seen his secret cache of documents. He gives excuses, but many of us think he secured t hem to lock them away from prying eyes......sadly.....he is former FBI, don't forget...I'd like to be wrong...but....having experienced what I have; and knowing some other details I'd like not to put up here at this time....I'm suspect as to his intentions with Jay's materials [very important materials!].

Interesting, Peter. Just read Horne's narrative of Gunn's serial deposition of Sibert and O'Neill re autopsy. As they were tasked by Hoover to "stay with the body" they make it up to make it so.

The fact that Brown is a "former FBI agent" says it all. So was Frank Holloman in Memphis.

Perhaps you can use your influence as a DPQ subscriber to apeal to Walt's sense of decency. He appeared ill on screen at the COPA conf last Nov. And very out of it, rambling.. I only saw part of it as I was otherwise engaged in dinner and choc marts with some of the other speakers and attendees, but Erick, my husband said that Walt actually said he IS ill. So if true, why not donate the materials to a safe place for future use?

I thought everyone in the research community knew Walt was former FBI. Erick remembers him telling us this the day of the Sunday lunch after the 5/29/98 press conf. Hard to believe it was twelve years ago.

I just found this, the Harold Weisberg digital archives, which may serve the need for secure accessiblity for the Jay Harrison research which you praise on pages 34-35 of JFK Deep Politics Quarterly Volume 15, #3 April, 2010.
Here is the link:

I will find the information on the John Armstrong research which he reported is in process of similar relocation.
I did find Philip Melanson in a mid-90's interview with a German researcher describing the Dartmouth Robert Kennedy Archives.

Here is John Armstrong in his own words describing his document donation to Baylor:
It is and continues to be my desire to provide
access to my entire collection of documents in order to help
researchers and allow them to form their own conclusions.
Accordingly, I have loaned my entire collection of documents
(over 100,000 items) to Baylor University so that all documents
could be copied and made available online as well as at Baylor's
Penn Jones Collection Library to people interested in the assassination.
It would seem Baylor University would prove to be an excellent repository for the Jay Harrison collection as well.

It seems the logical institution to house these valuable research items so that the terms of Jay's will and his wishes can be met while also relieving Walt of the Sisyphean task of doing it all on his own and having the responsibility of keeping it all safe.

It's all academic.
The Harrison materials have been underground long enough to have been sanitized.
I don't know that they have been. But such is my suspicion.
They're a thousand steps ahead of us.
Sleep warm.

Here's the archive collection Philip Melanson spoke to the German researcher about in the 1994 interview I found yesterday. Although Dr. Melanson died in 2006, the collection remains secure and accessible:
The Robert F. Kennedy Assassination Archives Collection
http://www.lib.umassd.edu/archives/rfkaa.html
The Robert F. Kennedy Assassination Archives Collection is the world's largest, most complete compilation of materials relating to this event. Established in 1984, the archives contains thousands of copies of government documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act public disclosure process as well as manuscripts, photographs, audiotape interviews, video tapes, news clippings and research notes complied by journalists and other private citizens who have investigated discrepancies in the case.
The Robert F. Kennedy Assassination Archives, a collection within the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Archives and Special Collections, is open to the public. No material is restricted, however, we cannot supply copies of all items because of copyright law. Please consult the fee schedule for duplication of materials.
No appointment is necessary, but, it is advisable to call ahead if you are travelling from a distance. Please contact the Archivist Judy Farrar by e-mail with questions or comments.
Contact information is supplied at the link to the home page above along with hours and a guide to the collection.
