Presentations

As early as October 1985 the Pennsylvania Newspaper Project’s Technical Committee and regional cataloging staff recognized the need to have a slide show and script “ready” for presenting.  Each site was encouraged to purchase a camera and start shooting photographs and slide images that documented field work.  As opportunities to publicize the Project by speaking to “any” captured audience arose, Project staff were prepared with a customized script featuring local titles and neighboring repositories visited.

In the course of three years, the Penn State Project shot over 600 photographs and 35mm slides.  Five different slide show versions were developed and shown to the following groups.
