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... Anne
