Spinning Crank library

March 29, 2011 - 10:07am -- corinne

Thanks to two fabulous SVBC volunteers, Moya and Jacky, Anne in our office has organized the collection of The Spinning Crank newsletters that Ellen Fletcher generously donated to our office. The earliest issue is from 1977! When I arrived to the office this morning, I flipped through some of the old issues. They're amazing! What a great historical record from the organization. Thanks to Ellen Fletcher for keeping them all these years.

Colin is planning to include selections taken from them in future email bulletins--but if you'd like to see the entire collection, feel free to drop by the SVBC office in your spare time and enjoy our library.

What would be really cool is if we could digitize the entire The Spinning Crank collection and put it on our website.

How many issues are there? About how many pages per issue? I've digitized entire textbooks before so if it's less than a few thousands pages, we should be able to do it.

Would SVBC allow volunteers to scan The Spinning Crank and then post the digitized collection on the SVBC website?
