Hi James Chase!
Glad to hear that you’re using the Publications Search Tool! Several volunteers put in many hours to convert the old 90 page paper Service Bulletin Index into a true relational database that works within the new website.
At the time of the conversion this Spring, 6422 Service Bulletin articles were indexed by Subject i.e. “Body”, “Chassis”, “Drive Train” etc., as well as Model, Cylinders, Year and a “wildcard” aka Keyword.
For those unfamiliar with this new feature, here is a screen shot of the Subject drop down menu. This is a good place to start, then add your Model (next screen shot) or Year or Keyword
Here is a screen shot of the “Model” selection drop down menu.
It takes a little practice because the database is much more than a simple keyword search. One suggestion is to remember that “less is more” when setting up a query – the least amount of parameters will result in the most results. Then you can start filtering it down from there adding more parameters one at a time that distills it down to your choice of how many results you want to go through then by hand.
Then, of course, click on the article’s title and – Abracadabra! – there is a searchable PDF file of the exact edition with the information you’re looking for right in front of you ready to read or even print to take to the garage and get that Pierce-Arrow fixed!
Look for some info on using this helpful feature soon. We’ve been refining it ever since the website’s launch. It’s been a huge project but the data conversion and preservation and easy access is what the Pierce-Arrow Society is all about – I-N-F-O-R-M-A-T-I-O-N!
Stay tuned!
Thanks James! I will get these organized and added!
Thanks David! Will add them to the list.

That is AWESOME Eric! Bravo and congratulations! Hershey will be a great place for its “debut”” too! What a great outcome for you guys AND the car!”
CAN ANYONE SEE THE VIDEO FROM THE LINK IN THE MESSAGE ABOVE? Just checking, some people are having trouble with the link. Thanks.
In this case, I would totally subscribe to Mayor Daley’s rules! And don’t forget you can vote via cell phone too!
Then you’ll get to see how nicely the http://www.Pierce-ArrowMuseum.org website works on your mobile device!
Noodle around the site and you’ll find the vote button on the same contact page address above. Thanks everybody! Let’s make Mayor Daley proud! LOL!
Craig – the link takes you to the Museum’s contact page, the click on the “VOTE”” icon is the vote. It will take you to the Conquest Graphics non-profit page. That is all you need to do.
Stu – I’m checking on the votes per day. But my guess is yes to different IP addresses and 1 vote per day.
THANKS Y’ALL! HAVE A GREAT DAY!”
