Great effort. As far as publishing the various papers, I would expect that permission would be needed from the authors/presenters. Perhaps this could be looked at for the upcoming AFFHO conference. Sites/companies such as Lulu.com could be considered to publish the papers in in various formats as well as print on demand. How do other professional organisations organise and make available their archives of conference papers?

I was able to finally read the paper you presented at ‘The Border and Beyond’ conference at Yarrawonga in 2010 on ‘Family History on the Cheap’. Unfortunately I missed your talk whilst on the trade stand for the genealogy program GenP. Fortunately the papers were all available on CD ROM.

I totally agree about the value of conference papers. I've listed titles of papers from some other conferences, including AFFHO's Australasian Congresses, on my Web site.

Thank you Shauna for doing this. It is an excellent resource. There are many gems in conference papers.
