Library of Congress Plans Digital Clean-Up of Audio Archives The 78-page document lists 32 recommendations on the preservation project from the National Recording Board. And the Library of Congress might be going digital. The plan does mention converting some physical recordings (Edison cylinders, lacquer discs, 8-tracks, CDs) to digital form. While it is a start, a project of this size (think the time you take cleaning your apartment and multiply it by 100,000) will take quite a bit of time. The new plan was announced by Librarian of Congress James H. Billington, who said, “We have good reason to be proud of our record of creativity in the sound-recording arts and sciences.” http://bit.ly/ZxLXAl Source: http://www.elmoremagazine.com/2013/02/music-news/library-of-congress-plans-digital-clean-up-of-audio-archives See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/ZxLXAl+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers Contact the list owner for assistance at [log in to unmask] For information about joining, leaving and suspending mail (eg during a holiday) see the list website at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=archives-nra
