| contents | Preservation Serendipity: The Gallaudet University Archives and the Veditz Transcription Olson, Michael J. van Cleve, John Vickrey Archives Deafness Films Sign Language Information Sources Resource Materials Preservation Library Services Academic Libraries Change Agents The Gallaudet University Archives contains the world's most comprehensive collection of materials relating to the language, history, and culture of deaf people. Photographs, artifacts, personal correspondence, publications, and institutional records form the core of the repository, but the Archives also contains a Deaf film collection of more than 750 films and 300 videotapes. These provide rare footage that documents deaf history and illustrates the sign language used by deaf Americans long ago. A subgroup within the film archive is the Veditz film collection, a group of films the National Association of the Deaf made specifically to record sign language for posterity. In this article, the authors explain how the Archives increase their acquisitions of memorabilia and materials. The authors also discuss how the Archives obtained the transcript of Veditz's "Preservation of Sign Language" in a letter from Veditz to Roy Stewart, an important person in the national deaf community for decades. Most of the new items acquired by the Archives are located and purchased by Michael Olson, Gallaudet alumnus and Archives technician. |
