Todd,Grey and others:
It's a shame the Lincoln Center Library has not made those archives
available online. Unless one lives in the NYC area, it's not much use,
even though tens of thousands of pressbooks is impressive. I'm willing
to bet there is a system for automatically digitizing microfilm.
I did not realize Heritage was scanning the whole pressbook when
auctioning it and archiving it online. That's cool.
Evan's suggestion that perhaps people with pressbook scans should simply
augment the database that is already up and running at
http://movieposterdb.com is a good one, I think.
I also received a message for Ed Poole at LAMP letting me know that he
and Sue have also been working on this idea -- they have about 500
pressbooks available online at LAMP right now and plan to add more.
