January 15, 2005

Present: Brad Schaffner (Harvard), Cathy Zeljak (George Washington), Jackie Byrd (Indiana), Anito Chiodo (Heritage Microfilm), Jennifer Chou (Harvard Yenching Library), David Chroust (Texas A&M), Joanna Dyla (Stanford), Joanna Epstein (Harvard), Iris Godwin (Tennessee), Inna Gudanets (Stanford), Kristin Johnson Kulash (Harvard), Soobum Kim (Stanford), Christopher Lenney (Harvard Lamont Library), Sandra Levy (Chicago), Terri Miller (Michigan State), Janice Pilch (Illinois), Leena Siegelbaum (Harvard Law), Cathrine Wolcott (Harvard Fine Arts Library), Grace Wu (Harvard Wenching Library) Minutes: The minutes of the Orlando Annual Conference meeting in 2004 were approved as submitted.

SEES Home Page: Cathy Zeljak distributed copies of the SEES website and requested input about whether the basic structure of the site still met the needs of SEES. The consensus was that the website did still meet the basic needs of the section. Janice Pilch had printouts of the website with suggested changes and corrections. Cathy will make the changes.

Brittle & Slavcopy: Brian Baird reported that Heckman Bindery is now working with OCLC to provide preservation photocopies for Brittle, the project formerly housed at the University of Kansas.

Brian and Brad Schaffner wanted input on whether there was interest in resurrecting Slavcopy in a similar fashion. Slavcopy was a Slavic language project similar to Brittle at the University of Kansas. Brad will post a message to slavlibs to determine whether there is interest in the project.

Khrushchev Audio Archives Demonstration: Irina Lynden and Allynn Wilkinson gave a follow-up demonstration of Irina's presentation on the Khrushchev Audio Archives from the Orlando Conference in June 2004. The demonstration of the archives included:

• Audio, both before and after work had been done on it
• Photos of Khrushchev and his family, friends, and associates
• Audio file naming conventions
• Description of the process of working with the original audio files
• Description of the access database to organize work on the project
