JFK Library’s Digital Preservation 1st Phase to Post Online January 13

Today’s Boston Globe on the planned revamping of the JFK Library and Museum’s website with the results of the first four years of digitizing its collection: “The amount of material to be posted online in January is huge — 200,000 pages of text, 1,500 photos, 1,250 files of audio recordings and moving images, and 340 phone conversations totaling 17 1/2 hours — but represents just a small portion of the collection.” Phase two will likely focus on movie footage “from what’s widely considered to be the country’s first television presidency.”
