[Nfb-history] Seminar Recordings in Audio-Video Center

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Anna and everyone,

    If recordings of Russel existed this is what I would have wanted to 
hear. Otherwise text will be fine. As a follow-on to a message I just sent 
concerning the availability of the recordings of the Jacobus TenBroek Law 
Symposium from the NFB "Audio-Video Center" there are a few other gems that 
should also be added to the AV center as well. One of these is the 
"Beginnings and Blueprints" seminar for parents of blind children. If you 
wish to hear these recordings you must search high and low on the NFB Web 
site to find them. In the future I hope that recordings of seminars of this 
kind would be reachable from the "Audio-Video Center" in addition to other 
appropriate pages on the NFB  Web Site. You can access recordings of past 
national conventions, speeches made by past and current NFB leaders, 
recordings of "The Braille Monitor", and "Future Reflections" so why not add 
the "Jacobus TenBroek Law Symposium", "Beginnings and Blueprints", and 
recordings of other seminars held at our national headquarters to the AV 
Center. Speaking of were recordings of the Braille Symposium made and will 
they be available on the NFB  Web Site? In a few cases the recordings are 
all ready on server. It would be a simple matter of linking them to the AV 
Center. Here's hoping this will be done.

Sorry, Peter. I checked and we do not have copies of these speeches 
available in audio. If we do put them on the website though, we'll make sure 
they are in an accessible text format. I can speak with Ed Morman about the 
possibility of recording audio versions of them, but I think getting a text 
version online is more likely to happen.

Have a great day,
Anna Kresmer

Hello Anna and everyone,

    Will you see if there is audio of these speeches available for inclusion
on the NFB Web site too? Thanks for your great research.

Dear NFB history enthusiasts,

>From what I can tell from the records in the tenBroek Papers, it appears
that Russell Kletzing did not give any banquet speeches. However, he did
give a presidential report at the 1964 NFB convention entitled "The State of
Our Union". An abridged version of this speech is already available online
at http://www.nfb.org/Images/nfb/Publications/bm/bm64/64BM-SEP.html#A8. If
anyone is interested in seeing the full version of this speech, please let
me know and I will send you a copy.

I also discovered two other interesting speeches given by Kletzing, which
may be of interest to fellow history buffs. The first is called "From Here
to Equality", which was published in the October 1962 edition of The Blind
American during his presidency. The second is called "Progress through
Internal Federationism", which was given by Kletzing in the Spring of 1967
in his capacity as treasurer for the International Federation of the Blind.
If anyone is interested in reading these speeches, please let me know and I
will send you a copy.

I will be submitting all three of these speeches for possible addition to
the NFB website, however I cannot say when or if they will be put up. Our
illustrious library director, Ed Morman, is currently enjoying a long and
much deserved vacation, so this decision will have to wait until after he
returns.

Have a lovely afternoon,
Anna
