Sorry for the confusion. Thought I had deleted the listserv from the email, but evidently not. I believe that arsc-audio2.org points to a server managed by ARSC. In the case of this email it hosts a draft database/user interface for the Radio Preservation Task Force's (RPTF) "online inventory of extant American radio archival collections". ARSC is collaborating on the development of the database and finding aid. I am unsure who from ARSC is participating. I submitted data describing my project, and am anxious to see the database and interface fully developed and deployed. If you want to see the database, go here: http://arsc-audio.org/blog/2016/11/10/rptf_directory/ For more about RPTF, go here: https://radiopreservation.org/mission/ -- Charles Reinsch KRAB Archive: www.krabarchive.com On 10/29/2017 3:16 PM, Steve Smolian wrote: > What is arsc-audio2.org, what is RPTF??? > > Steve Smolian > > -----Original Message----- > From: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Charles Reinsch > Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2017 4:14 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [ARSCLIST] ARSC/RPTF Collections Directory Project > > William, > > As I will be at the RPTF conference this week, I thought I would check in. > > As the database at arsc-audio2.org has been released to google, I am wondering if there is now a means for collection owners to make routine edits, or do we submit changes via the google docs form? > > Thanks, > > Chuck Reinsch > > > -- > Charles Reinsch > KRAB Archive: www.krabarchive.com > > > On 6/28/2017 11:11 AM, William Vanden Dries wrote: >> Chuck, >> >> ARSC members and members of the Radio Preservation Task Force continue to >> work on this project.
