Mini-Wars was held at the Glendale Boy Scout Hall in 2009 and the new Vice – President, Harmon Ward heard a lot of talk about the old Messenger newsletter that the organisation once published. After contacting the membership via email Michael Verity confirmed that he had a box of pristine copies that he could use. It took almost a year to get the time blocked out but after Mini-Wars at Gateway he started scanning and posting the newsletters on this website. The plan is to post a new issue every week until there is a complete archive of Historical Miniatures Gaming Society/Pacific Southwest available to the members.
