These Tweedsmuir Histories in the Branches are of the people, by the people, and for the people of that community, and if a Branch disbands without a committee of the commu» nity to carry on with the work of the Tweedsâ€" muir History. then the Tweedsmuir History should be microfilmed before it becomes lost! Let us always be known for preserving this valuable history through microfilming and having it in the Provincial Archives for all time to come.
