[QuadList] Open House - Midwest Archives Conference

[Klara Foeller]

Hello all,
This is an invitation for those of you intending to or thinking about, 
attending the Midwest Archives Conference in St. Louis the end of 
April.  I will be holding an Open House on April 29 from 3 to 5 PM at 
the Library & Research Center of the Missouri History Museum at 225 
South Skinker Boulevard.  I will be directing tours of our Moving Image 
& Sound Collections, with special emphasis on our Media Reformatting and 
Digitization Lab. 

I am intending to do demonstrations of our mastering and digitization 
process from Quad (2") Video through Betacam SP mastering and digital 
file creation and output.  The Quad machine is an Ampex VTR1200, and 
I've been successful in recovering local television programming from the 
1970s and early 1980s over the past couple of years and would like to 
share my processes with my colleagues and hopefully initiate some 
criticism and discussion.  My broadcast engineer will be available when 
the discussion turns technical.  I think some of you will find the 
experience interesting and informative; I will as well.

All who are interested are welcome to join us.  Please RSVP me so I can 
estimate attendees, in case I need to call in additional support staff.  
Anyone who is interested, but cannot attend in April, should know that I 
am planning to hold another, probably more extensive Open House, during 
the AMIA conference in St. Louis in November.

Hoping to have a lively and instructive experience for all 
participants.  Please respond to:
