Happy New Year from the Harvey Mercheum! What a busy year 2017 was! Looking back, some of the highlights of 2017 that stand out to me include:

• Switching web hosting to a more reliable company
• Getting the Harvey Mercheum website on the Cloudflare Content Delivery Network (CDN)
• Providing true date archive navigation of the Mercheum Blog by creating the Harvey Mercheum Editorial Calendar on Google Calendar
• Being interviewed in Intelligent Collector magazine
• Formalizing the “Special Days” calendar
• Coining the new term Harveyana
• Analyzing the JA-RU rack toy collection
• Posting the 100th exhibit
• Posting 27 exhibits in the 2017 calendar year

I would say, looking at this list, that 2017 was a good year for the Mercheum. Here’s hoping that 2018 is even better!
