> I work for WGBH, Boston in the Media Library and Archive and the
> Archive has been funded by the Mellon Foundation to work with academic
> scholars who have interest in utilizing our moving image and sound
> materials through the course of their research. We hope to increase
> public awareness of the vast collections that digital repositories
> hold by publishing our entire archival catalogue online, for open
> access and use.
> 
> Placing the catalogue online however is only the first step, as
> records may be incomplete or misleading. To help enhance the quality
> of our records, we are inviting scholars, teachers and students to
> research our catalogue and contribute their own discoveries and
> findings back to us. There are even limited opportunities there to
> catalogue and curate an online collection specific to your field of
> research as part of Open Vault
> (http://openvault.wgbh.org<http://openvault.wgbh.org/>). Final
> products could include essays on your topic, streaming public access
> to one selection of media in your collection, supplying metadata for
> the items in your collection and/or presenting your findings at a
> conference.
> 
> We have quite a few materials on American Indian History and Culture
> including original footage and re-enactments, so if you have an
> ongoing research project and would consider utilizing moving image and
> sound materials in your work, please don't hesitate to contact me.
