The BHS “file box index” refers to our index of archival documents, ephemera, articles and various printed information about each subject listed. The files are stored in boxes.
An estimate of 1000 files have been compiled since the 1980s and is updated weekly, keeping in mind future historians when we are long gone.
In our Research Room you simply find a file of interest on the index and we will pull it for you. You may then spend as long as you’d like reading information and asking questions if you have any.
