[CQ-Contest] ARRL/RAC Sections History

[Ellam, Timothy St. J.]

RAC created the Newfoundland&Labrador section in 2000 primarily due to
the distance from VO1/2 to the rest of the MAR section.

VE8(NT), VY1(YT) and VY0(NU) are part of the Alberta section, but they
have always been considered a separate entity for most contests.

For a project I am working on, I would like to know when the various 
ARRL/RAC sections (http://www.arrl.org/contests/sections.abv.html) have
been created/modified/deleted.  For instance, I know that in 2003, the 
"section" covering VE8, VY1, and VY0 was renamed "Northern Territories 
(NT)," and in 2000, West Central Florida (WCF) was created.  Northern
New
York and Newfoundland/Labrador are recent additions, but I'm not sure 
in which years they were added.  At some point in the past, West Texas
was 
created, and Washington was split into Western Washington and Eastern 
Washington.  I'm sure there are other changes I'm not thinking of right
now.

     I'd like to have a list of when each of these changes became
effective.
I have not been able to find any such compilation on the web.

     In the absence of a complete list of the changes, I'd really like
to 
understand the VE1, VE9, VY2, VO1, and VO2 section history.  When did 
the Maritime-Newfoundland section split into the two sections Maritimes
and 
Newfoundland/Labrador?  Is that the only change there has been? or was 
Labrador ever treated as a separate section? or did Newfoundland and the

Maritimes used to be separate, were combined, and then separated again?
Reading old contest results has me totally confused.

    If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.
