Excerpt from First Annual Report of the Waterloo Historical Society, 1913 I have the honor to present to you, the President, officers and members of the Waterloo Historical Society a short resume of the work and standing of the Society for the first year ending October 3lst, 1913. I am pleased to report that after the Free Library Board granted the Society the use of the room, a number of needed improvements were undertaken, viz., the laying of a new cement oor, painting and tinting the walls and ceiling and installing large cases for newspaper files. Your President and Secretary have been active in promoting the best interests of the Society. We are striving to extend our operations as rapidly as possible with the View of covering points of historical interest in this County. We hope to enlist the active interest of the pioneers of the County and their descendants in the work of collecting and placing in the Society's care for preservation records of all kinds, old documents, family histories, newspaper files, old photographs, Indian objects, etc. Many valuable documents of the early history of the County, available only a few years ago, have been dispersed or lost, but many are still to be had and are particularly sought 'by the Society.
