The Porticus mission is to bring to the public, historical documents that have not been seen in many years, or have been relegated to the dustbin of history.  We carefully scan each document using the highest quality scan possible so that the documents can be printed by the end user, which could be used for educational purposes.  Our goal is make all of our materials freely accessible to all who wish to further enrich their minds.  Like ancient Greece and Rome, where people could share ideas in open forums, The Porticus Centre welcomes contributions, ideas, suggestions and even submissions that could help in the archival of historical documentation and it's accessibility to the public.

At Porticus, we welcome your ideas and suggestions.  We are also looking for materials to help fill in the gaps in some of our historical documents for both Beatrice and the Bell System.  If you happen to know of anyone that had once worked for either entity, and that would happen to have annual reports or other public financial documents, please let us know.  We would gladly accept scanned images from either company.  It's basically a race against time, because people just throw most of these items away and only just so many copies were ever printed.  With our digital archiving, these

reports will be accessible to everyone who has access to a computer.
