Feb 6, 2023Researcher to retrieve magazine articles
–Feb 22, 2022Dear Amazing BPN people;
I am trying to find and hire a researcher or an archivist to help me retrieve a series of articles from a magazine from before the digital age (1960’s and 1970’s). The magazine has been unhelpful and the available archive they keep sending me to is impossible to search. I am trying to collect one author for compilation into a book. Any suggestions about finding someone to help with this project would be greatly appreciated.
Feb 22, 2022Need personalized mail collection (am a expat live overseas)
–Mar 31, 2019Hi I live overseas most of the year. I need someone trustworthy and reliable to receive my mail. Most of it will be ads, but sometimes it will be important, like a renewal notice from the dmv or a check, so there will be a personalized element to this too as they'll need to go through things to see what might be important.
Regular mail collection places seem quite impersonal, some I know even scan the mail but I am looking more for a replacement for a relative who currently does a wonderful job but is sadly moving into a skilled living facility. I also looked into small bookkeeping offices but didn't see a good fit. It's more like a combo of mail collection and sometimes some errand running. It would be great for anyone who is retired or at home, who is responsible and trustworthy. All my friends are already over loaded in their jobs/family so I don't want to burden them.
Does anyone know anyone who does such a thing? Or something similar who may be interested? Someone's retired school teacher aunt or maybe a reliable errand person who could receive mail, or someone home on maternity leave?

You'll probably get a lot of recommendations for Berkeley Shreds over by the Marina (https://www.berkeleyshreds.com/). They're fast and friendly and pretty cost-effective - a full grocery bag is $5 to shred and a full banker's box is $10, and you can pack a lot into those containers. Plus, they're next door to eWaste Collective (https://ewastecollective.org/), so you can drop of a load of tech recycling while you're there. Your other option would be to keep an eye out for free shredding events periodically organized by insurance agents, real estate agents and other companies.
Berkeley Shreds on Eastshore highway between Hearst and Gilman. Just drive up and hand them the boxes. They charge by the box and shred it right there in front of you. Great place.

I recommend https://www.berkeleyshreds.com/. I have used it many times. You can bring your items and watch while they are shredded. Or, if you call for pick up they will give you a certificate of destruction.
Berkeley Shreds, 1461 Eastshore Hwy. $10 per full banker's box and they do it right in front of you. Quick, easy and cheap.
