[Nfb-history] Recordings for This Year, and Other Stuff

[Morman, Ed]

Tina-

I should have notified the list earlier about the fate of our application for an audiovisual digitization grant.  As it turned out, we didn't win the grant, but we learned a lot in preparing the proposal and we are continuing to learn a lot.  Whether or not we ultimately get outside money, I believe we are committed to further digitization, and to better organization and enhanced preservation of all our digital assets.


Cordially,

Ed Morman

Man, this list has been dead.

It's getting near Convention time again. I plan to record the membership committee, Communications Committee, and Stream user group sessions for certain this year, along with this year's meeting of the Living History group. What have others been planning on?

Also, the web site for the Living History group has not yet been happening. Is anyone taking that on?

Finally, has there been any more news about digital archiving of NFB materials? Have we been able to get the grant to help make that happen? Thanks.
