Fwd: Re: Self-Introduction

[bsk9 at columbia.edu]

Thank you.
I certainly plan to let people know when the finding aid for the  
Makino becomes available, but that won't be any time soon  
(unfortunately).  There is still so much more to be done and this is a  
project that is expected to last a few more years. I started with the  
archival materials, so the monographs in the collection will wait for  
cataloging at a later date.  That said, I do have these lists in  
progress and am hoping to post more info. about how the processing is  
moving along, perhaps in a blog. That seems to make the most sense at  
this point. That way, if any of you have advice for me as to how you  
research and find things I can consider that along the way.  I welcome  
the input.

Best,
Beth K.

I have to say, this is really great news. I didn't know you were so  
far into cataloging already. Must be a pretty fun job!

This will be a major resource for those wanting to study Japanese film  
in North America; while it's being cataloged, it would actually be  
wonderful to now what becomes available. In fact, only a few of us  
have seen the riches there. Beth, it would be wonderful if you could  
blog about what you're finding. The more people know about what's  
there, the more possibilities open up. This would be wonderful!
