ACVI : phase 2 initial discussion
Met with JP to discuss state of ACVI project and hoped-for products.
So far, a bunch of contributors have submitted material (text, images, audio, video). Most of the stuff is on a sync.com account, but the large A/V files are on a personal computer (which John assured me had been backed up). It sounds like the collection of source documents is a bit of a mixed bag, but at least there is a digital file of some sort for each document. I've since got an an account with sync.com and John is going to allow my account to have access to the ACVI repository. One of their issues is storage and access of the large AV files during production of the products, and then long term storage of their stuff.
The three products are:
1) a travelling museum exhibit with accompanying brochure. He has a contractor for the panels etc. for the exhibit, but HCMC might be able to help with the layout/production of the brochure.
2) Compendium of research articles : he's looking at a special edition of BC Studies journal or making an arrangement with the UVic Library who does small-scale publishing.
3) Digital History website
