question / pregunta:
I'm part of a collective that produces independent media about a radical movement. We're about to approach a labor library at a private university about accepting physical and electronic files into their collection. We'd like to see these items not only be available to scholars, however, but also to be digitized so we can link to them from our own site and allow remotely located activists access to this history. We understand that the archive will be more likely to accept our collection if we have some funding attached to it. So, I have a few questions: 1. Are there sources of funding for radical history archival? 2. What is the protocol for approaching the archive about digitization? Will they be weird about our desire to make the collection visible on our website? Thanks for any insight you can provide. |
