  Presented by: Robert Anen, Project Archivist, LILRC 

  Throughout the course of 2022, The Accessing Archives Program has made some unique and interesting discoveries. One of those discoveries includes radio broadcasts and speeches of Ward Melville from the Melville Family Papers at the Three Village Historical Society. Digitization of these phonographic records is not as straightforward as one might think but I will take you through every step of the way. Join us as I take you from the point of discovery and rehousing, cleaning and digitization, and accessibility of these recordings that have not been heard in seventy years.
