Riddle has attended workshops on preservation,most recently hearing <br /> Alan Lewis speak about Preservation of Machine-Based Audiovisual Materials. She also <br /> keeps in close touch with colleagues in the field in order to keep updated on new methods and <br /> new materials. She was the project director for our previous LSTA preservation grant. She <br /> was co-director for a digital initiative grant that enabled us to buy Content DM software to put <br /> our Everett Massacre materials on the Internet. Margaret has also attended workshops given <br /> by the NEDCC (Northeast Document Conservation Center) and uses their website frequently <br /> for information on preservation. She has read their working paper online"Microfilm and <br /> Microfiche" by Steve Dalton. <br /> For this project,Margaret consulted with both NEDCC and OCLC. Both have excellent <br /> reputations in the field. Both provide the recommended standard non-perforated polyester <br /> film base that has a life expectancy of 500+years under proper storage conditions. Both <br /> provide archival storage of master microfilms. We would prefer working with OCLC's <br /> Preservation Service Center in Lacey, Washington, since it has been highly recommended by <br /> University of Washington colleagues and since our materials could be hand-delivered to them. <br /> 51. <br /> 17 of 25 <br />
