Some extra information from Michael Taft and Jennifer Cutting at
the American Folklife Center, Library of Congress, which I should
have included in the Carpenter News mailing!

1. While we hope that the Carpenter collection will be online, we can't
make any commitments at this time. The immediate plan is to have the
collection available to researchers online only in the LC reading rooms.
Before the collection can be put truly online, permissions must be
sought for all the performers--a long-term project.
2. The name of the project under which the Carpenter digitization is occurring
is Save Our Sounds. See our SOS website: http://www.loc.gov/folklife/sos/
3. [Just to stress that] the digitization of the collection involves more than the
cylinders. We're also digitizing over 13,000 pages of manuscript and 500
photos.
