Dear Wikimedia-SF, Tonight I heard a talk by Rick Prelinger, who runs the Prelinger Library & Archive: http://home.earthlink.net/~alysons/library.html
which is a fun private library. They are "an appropriation-friendly, browsable collection of approximately 40,000 books, periodicals, printed ephemera and government documents located in San Francisco." The Prelinger collections are also on the Internet Archive: http://www.archive.org/details/prelinger_library Prelinger is very interested in the public domain, making archive materials available to the public, supporting media collaboration and digitization... all things of interest to Wikimedians, especially Commons folks. I talked to him briefly and he said they'd be glad to connect with us. I think visiting the library would make a great meetup/fieldtrip. The Prelinger is open to the public on Wednesday evenings and selected Sundays (see webpage). April 26 or May 17 are the dates that stood out to me as possibilities. What do you all think? Does this sound interesting? What day(s) would be good? (Reply to me offlist if you like and I can compile). cheers, Phoebe _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-SF mailing list Wikimedia-SF@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf
