Federica Riva (Presidente IAML-Italia) requests that we continue to sign the petition to support the Italian archives (Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, Cineteca Nazionale and of Istituto Centrale per i Beni sonori e audiovisivi). While language that would have closed these archives has been removed from "Executive Decree #95", it still needs to pass through two more committees for approval. More information, including an easy to send petition, available here: http://ilteatrodellamemoria.wordpress.com/2012/07/29/a-positive-result-of-the-mobilization-for-italian-sound-archives/ John Vallier Head, Distributed Media Univ. of Washington Libraries http://faculty.washington.edu/vallier
