[Nfb-history] Digitizing More Literature

[Mike Freeman]

Tina:

 

How much money have you raised to hire more staff to get this done? Even if
we were to use many volunteers (and I presume you are thinking of so
volunteering), there would be the need for a lot of quality control which
equals lots of time which equals time which must be paid for.

 

BBottom line: you want more stuff digitized, then raise the money to hire
the staff and pay for the time to do it.

Subject: [Nfb-history] Digitizing More Literature

 

I'm pleased to see that we're finally getting some of our Kernel books on
the web site in audio. I do notice, though, that there are a good number of
pieces of literature that have not been digitized. I'm thinking of Jacobus
tenBroek, the Man and the Movement, as well as some others. I'm not sure if
the Christmas programs have been digitized. I do know that they're on the
latest NFB Library Card, but some of them are not complet.

 

I am aware that National has been slow to digitize some of this literature,
and I, for one, would hate to lose it just because many of our members no
longer have a cassette player.

 

Bottom line: Is anyone willing to take this on? I know National wants to do
it, but there has got to be a way to really get this stuff done so we don't
lose it. Thanks.
