WAAC Newsletter to Include Video

Authors who are submitting an article for publication in the WAAC newsletter are now invited to include a video component, if appropriate. The video component is intended to illustrate a specific section of a written article - serving as a "video illustration". In this sense it is analogous to a traditional figure (a drawing or photograph) in a written article. See Video Submission Guidelines

Half of the backlog of back issues of the WAAC Newsletter are now available online, with the remaining ones to follow in the near future. Beginning with volume 25 (2003), the Newsletter will be presented in PDF.

Feature articles are best read as spreads, for illustration placement, etc., however they are posted as single pages so that they can be printed easily.)

Hard copies are still available and, after we are caught up, we will return to the policy of waiting 6 months after publication to post an issue online, in deference to those who actually pay for the Newsletter.

This issue includes information on health and safety for salvage operations, a reprint with a new introduction of Betty Walsh's "Salvage Operations for Water Damaged Archival Collections" and the "Salvage at a Glance" chart (in the print version this is printed on waterproof synthetic paper), a basic primer on mold, as well as a collection of new information and reprinted materials from a number of sources.

Print copies are available. See back issues
