Funding
SIL will transfere $35, 000 from non-BHL sources to support scanning of SIL collections via the Internet Archive. RSRT Department heads have been informed and involved in this process. A small test with an AAPG volume (for workflow) will be done shortly; after that a call for items and finalized workflow will be done. The next SIL BHL allocation from the MacArthur/Sloan grant should be made shortly.
