They were published as typewritten documents, and so never existed as text on a computer. They're currently available <a href="http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/scandoclinks/ocm70660447.htm">as PDF files</a>. But Google seems not to have found those files, which is no surprise, because they're hidden behind a search box. OOPS! I'm taking the liberty of turning them into HTML documents and reposting them on the web. They're a little rough right now, but you can <a href="http://russnelson.com/inventory/">take a look at them</a> in their unfinished state.</p>
