Mark:

If it's OK, I would be willing to help with this scanning effort. You could send me, maybe, 10 at a time. I'll scan them, pdf them, return the orginals to you and the pdf files to Brad. I'll will take some time, but you know, we'll just keep working on it.

I think it would be a good idea to scan the International Projectionist magazines and put them all (or as many could fit) on a cd rom and sell them. I'd buy one for sure.

Same with the old Motiograph magazine called "The Sound Track".

Speaking as an archivist, this would be an excellent resource to have available either online or in CD form. I've recently finished researching an article on the changeover from nitrate to safety stock in the late 40s (which - shameless plug - will appear in Roger Smither (ed.), 'This Film is Dangerous' published by Flicks Books and due for release anytime now) and went through a lot of these magazines, and also 'International Photographer' in the British Film Institute library.

A lot of the material in there just could not be found anywhere else, especially detailed descriptions of equipment, cinema design, film handling practices and economic information on the cinema industry from a perspective which rarely made it into any of the main trade papers or the scientific journals which covered film and related technologies.

A good way to handle the copyright issue would be to work with I.A.T.S.E. to help get the publications online. They might appreciate the offer to have them scanned into .PDF format so that they could be used for legitimate research. Copyright used to extend for only 27 years and had to be renewed. I believe that now it's for life +50years, so almost everything is covered with the current exception of things which were published more than 75 years ago and other items which for various reasons have fallen into the public domain. More than likely they'd simply say "go ahead and put 'em on your forum", but I'd check first just to keep things legal. I'd sure love to see them.

Leo,

Sounds like a great book. Any info on how we could get a hold of one here in the states?

As soon as I get my copy (last time I spoke to the editor he was aiming for an August or September publication, but I still haven't had it) I'll post an ISBN.

I could also send Brad my chapter as a PDF if he'd like to put it on the site (no copyright problem, as that stays with the individual contributors).
