Sorry to be so long in answering the question posted earlier about possible memorials for Bill Alderson, but I was out of town. As far as I know, there are three such memorials in place. AASLH set up a William T. Alderson Scholarship Fund several years ago. Contributions may be sent to: American Assn. for State & Local History 530 Church St., Suite 600 Nashville, TN 37219 The Southeastern Museums Conference (SEMC) is in the process of setting up a William T. Alderson Fellowship. I believe this fellowship will be used to award scholarships to students attending the annual SEMC meeting. Contributions may be sent to the SEMC office at P. O. Box 3494, Baton Rouge, LA 70821 Also, Bill was the coordinator for the Seminar for Historical Administration in Williamsburg at the time of his death. Contributions may be made in his memory to the SHA Scholarship Fund by writing to: Peggy McDonald Howells Manager, Museum Professional Services The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation P. O.
