Pictures and video from 90 years of the LSA –  Please help!

The 90th LSA Anniversary Celebration at the Annual Meeting in Minneapolis
January 2-5, 2014, will include an audio-visual preentation, which you can
drop by and view between sessions. How interesting and extensive this show
will be depends on you.

We have collected some pictures and video of LSA linguists and linguistic
events (e.g., past institutes, summer and annual meetings, etc….) but would
very much welcome more. It would be especially nice, of course, to have visual
documentation of linguists and their activities from long ago, but it will
also be good to have more recent material as well. As a part of the video, we
will feature several pictures of linguists whose identities you can guess and
be eligible to win a prize. So remember to share with us any pictures that you
think might be especially interesting for this purpose (and if we choose your
contribution you will already have one right answer for the quiz).

Please send what you can in digital format with identifying information (names
and at least approximate dates) as soon as possible but not later than
September 1, 2013. You may send these materials to preston at msu.edu, but if the
materials are too large or if you cannot provide a digital format, please get
in touch with us at the same address, and we will make other arrangements.

We appreciate your help!
