Dutch Barns Preservation Society Miscellany (1988-1994)
DBPS Miscellany is partly handwritten, and so is not readable by search engines. However, each issue contains a handwritten index which has been transcribed here. Click the "Show Contents" to view each index.
Volume 6 also contains the entire series of Barn Trip Reports compiled by the Barn Enthusiasts Group, a sub-group of DBPS which existed from 1988 to 1994. The reports have been re-scanned separately into a searchable PDF
