NDNP Meeting
University of Washington
Present: Laura Robinson, Glenda Pearson, Beth Bowden, Jessica Albano, Marlys Rudeen
1. Purchasing
It’s time to start ordering the first titles for the project.
UW needs to fix targets on Seattle Republican.
First titles – UW – Will start by purchasing Seattle Republican & Cayton’s titles, Seattle star, Labor titles, Labor Journal (Everett). They will also look at Bremerton and New Citizen titles for filming, if funds can be located.
WSL - Will start by purchasing the Colville, Pullman and Colfax papers, and the Northwest Worker.
Need to order 2nd generation, silver halide neg. NDNP requires 10 density readings of master and neg. copy, and resolution reading if the film has a resolution target.
2. LC Participants Meeting – Laura and Marlys reported on the meeting, held at LC in August.
They provided Glenda with the information on composing the title essays, and shared contact information for NEH and LC NDNP staff.
3. Communications
UW/WSL – on title selection, film examination and metadata collection. Laura will be spending part of her time at the UW and part in Olympia.
Vendor –When the scanning vendor is selected, Laura will be the main contact.
Vendor, film – UW and WSL will be individually responsible for purchasing the film for which they hold the negs. At UW, Jessica will be in charge of purchasing from OCLC . At WSL, Laura will handle the ordering from Proquest.
Work Group – The NDNP wiki is located at
MainPage
In the interests of keeping a coherent record of the project, we will continue to send information and updates out via listserv, but will also add the updates, discussions, etc. to the wiki.
NEH/LOC - Laura and Marlys will be the contacts with the granting agencies.
Library Community – We are hoping to set up a blog at WSL to issue reports and will use the WSLUpdates as well. Any other ideas for disseminating news will be appreciated.
4. RFP – Out on Monday, Sept. 15. We will put a copy on the wiki.
5. Contract UW – Send to Glenda. Hope to have a draft within in a week.
Jessica reported on comments from Charles Chamberlain: Needs a header, language indicating that any modification must be in writing and approved by both. (Mr. Chamerlain was looking at a rough draft.) Instead of saying UW staff, use Microforms and Newspaper Unit (MicNews)
Hiring process: Laura will interview students, email prospects. Student staff will start film examination and collation with Cayton’s Weekly and other positives.
6. Essays – Glenda is thrilled at the prospect of writing the individual title essays, and will do the Seattle Republican first.
7. Wiki – use for notes, documents, reports, etc. Gang of five will have edit permission.
8. Google Newspaper Project – No one is quite sure how this will impact other newspaper digitization projects, including NDNP.
