From Casey: We decided at our meeting with Riverside today that it would be best to create a separate FIX IT+ instance for the Riverside project, since we don't want the cataloging and ORR review to hold up transcript correction by the many congregant volunteers.
Can you add this to the developer backlog and prioritize it among other AAPB-related tickets?
Attached is the Riverside logo.
The header can say, "Preserving the Historic Broadcasts of WRVR-FM Public Radio."
The homepage text can say: Help the The Riverside Church in the City of New York and the American Archive of Public Broadcasting fix computer-generated transcripts from thousands of historic and culturally significant WRVR-FM public radio programs from 1961-1971.
The About page can say:
The Council on Library and Information Resources has awarded a grant of $330,000 to digitize, preserve, and make publicly accessible previously unavailable archives of the Peabody Award winning radio station WRVR. "Public Radio as a Tool for Cultural Engagement in New York in the 60s and early 70s: Digitizing the Broadcasts of WRVR-FM Public Radio" is a joint project between The Riverside Church in the City of New York and the American Archive of Public Broadcasting, a collaboration between the Library of Congress and the WGBH Educational Foundation. The collection includes culturally significant non-commercial programming, including interviews, speeches, and musical interpretations on matters such as civil rights, war, and fine arts, from laypersons to famed scholars, including Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and Pete Seeger.
Preservation of these materials will enhance study in many disciplines, including theology/religion, political science, and communications, especially related to American Christianity, homiletics, progressive responses to the Civil Rights movement, contemporary issues of race and sexuality, the cultural impact of the 1960s, and public radio as a tool for cultural engagement and social media precursor.
These recordings will be made publicly available at the American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB), a collaboration between the Library of Congress and WGBH. The AAPB coordinates a national effort to preserve at-risk public media before its content is lost to posterity and provide a central web portal for access to the unique programming that public stations have aired over the past 70 years.
I am waiting on the gmail addresses of the admins.
