‘Wig’ Wiggins Lives On

Apparently the University of Pittsburgh has been given his Bing archives.

That is good news and especially that Bing was part owner of The Pittsburgh Pirates.
Pittsburgh is a nice city and has changed so much since I first visited in 1958. Last time about 5-6 years ago and quite a change.

Re: ‘Wig’ Wiggins Lives On

I'm sure that is a very good point, Archiefit. I fear however that there are a few practical obstacles, one of which is the matter of rights. Wig had significant collection but he, and those who acquire it, have no greater right to disseminate it freely to all than you and I have.
