May 27
Hi everyone,
I found a place on campus to borrow a digital camera yesterday, so I could get started. I then headed down to Victoria City Archives. I had a different archivist than before, and they told me that I should not take photos of anything until they have worked out a licensing agreement with Jim. Instead, I was instructed to go through absolutely everything, make a complete list of everything I would want to scan or photograph, and then submit it to Jim with the paperwork so he could arrange for the payment of fees and what not. So, I am just going through finding aids and inventories, looking at artifacts, and deciding everything that I will photograph right now. I may put this on hold for today though, if I can get a hold of the archivist at Victoria High. They only come in on Tuesday, so I might go down there and check their collection out. At 4 pm, I have an appointment at St. Michael's.
The minutes are from Friday and yesterday.
