Subject: [MLA-L] Fwd: Fate of Hollywood Park broadcast archives
To: MLA-L <[log in to unmask]>


Last weekend I came across an article in *The New York Times* about the
closing of Hollywood Park in Los Angeles.
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/15/sports/a-last-hurrah-for-hollywood-park.html

In the interview with Kip Hannan, who is in charge of the park's media
production, he voiced great (grave?) concerns over the fate of decades of
broadcast materials. I suspect these historic broadcasts, if properly
preserved and made available, could have tremendous research value.

I am wondering if any here on the list knows of any follow up to this? Has
an institution expressed interest in these materials?
