So the concrete man is coming to lay the concrete on the 28th, shortly thereafter, electricity, and HVAC will be installed. I am packing stuff, loading crates, and loading my shelves to be able to move in. I've also received a few interesting new items that we will have to show you. Hopefully shortly after we move in, we will have our first civil defense blog, looking forward to it.!

Im researching the Civil Defense Emergency Hospitals. I understand they have different series of them or serial numbers. I'm looking for inventory list. I'm looking for identifications of the different series. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. And of course, if anybody has any boxes or equipment from one of them that they're looking to get rid of, I'm interested.........

So my friends, I must announce I am building a Civil Defense Artifact building that will house my Civil Defense Collection and a place to do research packaging rehabilitation etc . So if you're ever in Virginia, please give me a holler. I'd love to have you stop by and visit what I call my museum, but it's just a collection of my 2600 + Civil Defense Artifacts from the days gone past..
