Thanks everyone for the very kind words. We really appreciate it. It's really a lot of work.
We believe that this is a huge step in the documentation of the hobby but this is only the first step. Over the weekend, Sue re-sorted all the numbers and worked out the kinks in setting up to combine the 1962 NSS Master Log which NSS issued by title. I've now started that process which will take another couple of months. This is the 2nd of 3 passes that is needed to put out the NSS books this fall. AND THIS IS JUST THE FIRST STEPS... This information will then generate ALL the reissues that were handled by NSS. THEN it will generate all the film distributors that were handled by NSS and pinpoint the year they started and the year they stopped. It will also generate a list of all the films handled by NSS that each distributor handled. This project is so massive that I figure that we will be compiling and re-sorting information for the next few years before we get everything in place.Then once we're finished with THAT, we can then compare and combine production code numbers and start all the re-sorting and compiling all over again. Doesn't that sound like TONS OF FUN!!!! Ok.. I just got tired thinking about it all. I think I need a nap :-( ed [email protected] _____ From: Doug Taylor [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, May 03, 2009 8:24 PM To: 'ed'; [email protected] Subject: RE: [MOPO] NSS Update!! Super, super work. Thank you DBT <http://www.linkedin.com/in/douglasbtaylor> Profile From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of ed Sent: Saturday, May 02, 2009 7:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] NSS Update!! I just wanted to let EVERYBODY- know... THAT I FINISHED THE FIRST PASS OF THE NSS NUMBERS!!!! This first pass was the combination of the 1999 NSS Book that Bruce bought a few years ago PLUS ALL the NSS numbers that we had gathered over the years at LAMP... It's almost 25,000 NSS numbers with Title AND the distributor from 1940 through 1999 AND THEY ARE NOW ONLINE in the LAMP Members Section. Go to Members Section...Either go to US . OR go to Logs <http://www.learnaboutmovieposters.com/newsite/INDEX/ARTICLES/Logs-Mem.asp> and look for NSS Number Log MAN was that a LOT OF WORK!!! Just this first pass has both cleared up a lot of questions AND created a lot more.. Whenever there was a conflict between poster info and the 1999 log, I put the conflict in maroon behind the title. Now the FUN begins.. In the second pass, we are re-sorting ALL the NSS numbers by TITLE. We are then checking that list against the 1962 NSS Master Log that we acquired PLUS adding in the trailer numbers starting with 1930 when the NSS numbering system started plus additional information from the Master Log. THEN.. We will re-sort again to identify ALL the reissues that went through NSS. (Sorry.. I had to tell somebody!!)
