While it would be great if any of the handful of major Negro League collectors on the board were to come forward and volunteer as that would instantly add a lot of material to the database, I was expecting that to be the exception rather than the case. Maybe as others have mentioned, these individuals will offer their own personal items to be added to the database once the time comes.
What I am really looking for are a few people who are willing and have the time to research old auction archives, both online and catalogues, for every major auction house that has handled Negro League material over the past 20years or so.
Also, looking for research to be done on determining all "significant" Negro League players from the 1880's through the early 1950's, I have no specific number of players in mind and would rather be more liberal than tight with this definition.
Other key areas would be someone to maintain a database, webiste design and someone with connections for book publishing down the road. Possibly, a good writer as well.
Hopefully, this provides an idea of some of the different responsibilities that are out there to assist in this project.
