Yes, thank you for your work on this project Gary. I recognize several of these titles as well. Besides RAI, a stateside source for these two Disappearing World titles (for a few dollars less) is Penn State Media Sales: http://mediasales.psu.edu/disappearing_world/index.html Brian Boling.

Re: [Videolib] Mellon Video At Risk Project
Thank you so much for this, Gary. I recognize a lot of titles for which I've repeatedly searched. I noticed a film on the list that I purchased recently (NTSC) from the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland: http://www.therai.org.uk/fs/film-sales/the-kayapo-out-of-the-forest/ and it looks like this one is also available from the Institute http://www.therai.org.uk/fs/film-sales/the-mende/ Deborah Benrubi Technical Services Librarian University of San Francisco Gleeson Library|Geschke Center 2130 Fulton St. San Francisco, CA 94117 ph. 415.422.5672 fax 415.422.2233 On 6/14/2012 2:51 PM, ghand...@library.berkeley.edu wrote: Hi all I've recently sent in our final, phase II report regarding Berkeley's participation in the Mellon Videos at Risk Project.
