Okay, so something I've started to notice a bit in the past is the possibility that as AH expands in terms of timelines and so on, there emerges into the issue of a 'lack of sources' for research for those that are new or for those that would wish to start a timeline. I'd imagine that presents some significant difficulties, and honestly after finding even more pertinent info and research for my own timeline that the expansion of information should be something that needs to be explicitly addressed to allow people access to it.
In terms of this for a success (and to say allow people to search via the thread for the info on it) I'd really prefer people do the following in terms of a 'general format' for posting sources for people to research on timelines: Label What the Source Is, What Kind of Timelines They Can Be Useful For, and the Source Itself
I'll provide two up first:

I'll provide two up first:
The source in question is from the Minnesota Historical Society, and is composed of four PDFs in regards to targets by the Democratic National Committee focused on a series of Congressional Districts, Senate seats, and Governor seats up for election in 1978. This can likely be useful for timelines starting between 1976-1978 dedicated towards the impacts that might happen on the midterms. Because of the way the structure is set up, a total of four PDFs are provided with the info on the states respectively for it:
(Alabama-Indiana): http://www2.mnhs.org/library/findaids/00697/pdfa/00697-00059-1.pdf
(Indiana-Nevada): http://www2.mnhs.org/library/findaids/00697/pdfa/00697-00059-2.pdf
(Nevada-South Dakota) http://www2.mnhs.org/library/findaids/00697/pdfa/00697-00059-3.pdf
(South Dakota-Wyoming) http://www2.mnhs.org/library/findaids/00697/pdfa/00697-00059-4.pdf
The sources in question below compose primarily of planning by the Joint Chiefs throughout the Cold War. Pretty much they could be used for any timeline likely between 1942-1990s based off the people in charge along with what the military itself was thinking. Again like before, a multitude of PDFs have to be provided from two different sources in question, with the first being more of an overarching history and the second source being much more explicit in info for the time period marked in the parenthesis.
