Hi all,
Rick Prelinger (Prelinger Archive) and Archive.org
(http://www.archive.org) would be VERY interested in systematically
digitizing these archives and making them permanently available in
digital form. I know that Dee Dee knows them, and probably others of you
on this list too.
Could people forward this to anyone they know from these organizations
who might have significant archives of older community and movement media?
peace
