You can do a little searching through google and find an awful lot
more information than what you are proposing here...and it's all free
and fast. However, you will be very hard pressed to find a compilation
of information that it sounds like you are talking about proposing
here.

Homeowner names (relatively current) are already on Princeton
assessors maps...online!

Think about what would happen if you brought a laptop (with wifi
access) and put it in from of anyone concerned about this
proposal...you would see there concern pointed instantly in another
direction. This might have negative results with an already
apprehensive person.

*I can find this information easily and I'm a roofing contractor...

I say post the history.

> The Princeton Historical Commission has in its possession a collection of index cards with each card listing the former owners of the houses.  This has been known historically  as ‘The Princeton House File’. The collection of approximately 300 index cards were compiled by two former members who were assessors for the Town of Princeton in the 1950’s. Most of the cards have been kept up to date with the current owners names on them. One member of our commission has transcribed the cards into a word document while another member has inserted current (2006) photographs of the houses, as well as historic photographs to correspond with the information. We would like to put this information on the PHC webpage for the town, however there has been concern from others in town that this should not be allowed because of the potential  for robberies and the invasion of privacy.  I would like to know if anyone on our mailing list has any comments or suggestions. Thank you in advance.Joyce AndersonPrinceton Historical Commission
