Kirston and all,

The SNCA Archives Week Committee is organizing to get the word out about Archives Week events. Archives Week in NC this year is October 20-26th.
http://www.ncarchivists.org/archives_week/index.htm

There's a calendar for posting event dates (HMD and our screenings for the following week) here: http://www.ncarchivists.org/archives_week/calendar.htm

Hello all,

Karen and I will be creating a poster for the home movie screenings event. We’d like to have all the important details by this Friday, so that our graphic designer can have the poster completed by September 19. At that point, we’ll send each of you a PDF of the poster and you can distribute/print it as much as you’d like (or do something on your own).
Event details on the poster will include:

Date
Time
Location (building, room)
List of films to be screened
URL

I think I have most of this info, but I’m missing the time and room in some cases. Could each of you review the details below and let me know how you’d like me to word things. Also, if you could fill in the blanks, that would be great.

I’ve attached a couple of still images we thought of using. Please feel free to comment or share others. We’d like to use the vertical stack of films for the central image, as that will allow us to stagger details for each institution on the side. As soon as we have a proof, we’ll send it out.

That’s it for now. Thank you all for finding these great films and working with us to do this!

Best,

Kirston
