I’m looking for someone who can visit the National Archives at College Park, MD one time per month for a brief visit. In sum, you would receive a list of 10 motion picture records from me via email; visit the Motion Pictures office/area at NARA College Park and put in a reference request for those 10 motion picture records; return a month later and transfer those 10 files from the public access network onto a hard drive I provide (or pay you to purchase). And repeat this process, getting me 10 digitized videos per month. *Note, 10 digitizations is the max a single person can request from the National Archives.
It sounds weird, but in order to get these videos, you have to do this in person. I’ve done it once, but I live too far away to visit every month. I’m looking for someone local to College Park who would do this for some extra bucks, sent securely via PayPal ahead of each visit. Please reply to this post if you’re interested in helping me create an awesome documentary!
