The donor of the
nuclear disarmament collection I have been working on added a VHS tape to the
collection this week. I was able to digitize the tape and transfer it DVD. The
GTU uses Adobe Elements. It was a new program for me but it was easy to use. I
added some basic metadata and added the DVDs into the collection boxes.
The exciting news is
that they posted the first of my finding aids on OAC. The Suzuki collection is
available at http://www.oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/c8tm78gd/.
The Baptist collection is still in testing, but should be up soon. It was a
very exciting week full of firsts. I am starting to feel like a real archivist.
Congratulations! the Suzuki collection looks terrific! And it's wonderful that you now know how to digitize a VHS tape and transfer it to a DVD. I'm looking forward to seeing your Baptist Collection finding aid soon.
