Ken, I'm seriously considering it, although it is on the back BACK burner. I'd like to get some more early issues first, but every one that shows up on ebay, they want $10 an issue for! Ridiculous!

Plus, I've been working on another big project... we'll see that in the very near future. [Wink]

"There used to be some nice online versions of Cinema Notes up on the Kodak web site (nicer than the scanner stuff); what happened to them? So much for any archival faith in the web (you might have hoped for it at Kodak...)."

We've tried to keep the timeless technical stuff on-line, such as:

http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/newsletters/pytlak/

Much of the "human interest" and production notes type articles are covered by Kodak's other publications:

http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/newsletters/inCamera/index_flash.shtml

http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/students/onCampus/

http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/newsletters/onFilm/

We welcome your suggestions for new articles, or which old technical articles you miss and want back on the Kodak website.

It's much more cost-efficient and timely to publish on the Kodak website, rather than maintain and service a paper-mail mailing list. Even Kodak technical manuals are moving to an Internet-based print-on-demand model, for the efficiencies and timeliness:

I don't have specific requests. It merely annoys the archivist in me that there were entire issues of Reel People that are no longer available on-line (but used to be). If I was in the "save everything interesting I downloaded from the web" camp, I'd be all set.

I think the ocassional feature article was also of interest. We too have a printed out binder of all back issues...

I'd always gotten FN sporadically for some reason. Never did have all the issues.

I remember in the mid-80s, they published the first handful of issues in softcover book form. I saw it in technical bookstores.

A renewal card was sent out every few years. You may have forgotten to send it back. Maintaining a current subscriber list was just one of the problems with paper mail.

That's the "Reel People Collection", Kodak publication H-50:

Hi, John. I'll bet the theatre managers pitched the renewal cards! Whenever I did get FN, they always came to the theatres I worked.

Passing the buck..

Tim,
I also have a large collection of International Projectionist going back to 1927 when it was Motion Picture Projectionist. I have several duplicate issues. If you have some dupes, Maybe we can trade and help complete each other's collection.
IP was never published by Quigley. In the seventies when it was combined with Greater Amusements the publisher was Ray Gallo.

Bob, yes, I'd like to do that. I only have a couple dupes, though. I'll drop you a line after I gather them all together. I just moved into a very small place and the boxes are still stacked high.

Thanks!

Film Journal has become mostly articles on industry execs congratulating each other on how great they are and b.s. written by manufacturers engineers promoting their own systems and calling it a tech. article.
