My guess is because (a) no one remembers about it and/or (b) no one
has volunteered to digitize it. I've been a member for ... whoa, could
it be 20 years? Yikes! - and I've never heard of it. But there are all
sorts of things hiding away in the crawlspace at the Home Office, and
not enough manpower to get them well-curated, so who knows.

That said, have you tried writing to the Archives or Libraries
committees (both reachable from here: http://origamiusa.org/whoswho )?

Being a (nearly entirely) volunteer-run organization, OrigamiUSA
pretty much only gets things done that have someone step up who will
champion and/or actually *do* the thing. Do you have (or know someone
who has) the ability to digitize video?  Find the tape, find someone
who has the necessary technology, and I assure you we can find room
for it on the web site...
