Is Herbertia online?

If a person Googles up the question of ‘once the decision has been made to dissolve, the nonprofit must stop transacting business, except to wind down its activities. Any remaining assets must be used to pay debts and liabilities. If assets remain after paying debts, the nonprofit, if it is a 501C3, must distribute them to another 501C3 organization.’ A former officer of the organization can’t just pick and choose what to disperse or hoard. And there are numerous other comments on Google about this particular topic.

A few hours ago. I forget the organization he said was scanning them.

I think several of us reached out to the IBS at various times. In 2013,
soon
after the IBS and its website shut down, I talked with Herb Kelly, the

guy

who had been in charge of it. He had saved a backup of the website (which
had a lot of articles) and was very confident that they were going to
restart the org and post everything themselves.

Google Books has scanned some old issues of Herbertia, back to 1984. But

it

doesn't have permission from the IBS to expose the full text; all you can
get is little snippets.

Does anyone know Herb? I'll try pinging him again, but it might work best
if
someone has a personal relationship with him.

By the way, I think we're in a similar situation right now with the
Indigenous Bulb Association of South Africa. They had a great journal for
many years, and I do not think Google has scanned it. I pinged them a
couple
of times about digitizing their journal. They seemed interested at first,
and then stopped responding.

It would be worth trying with them again, if someone has a strong contact
there.
