Administrative\/Biographical Note<\/h2>

Scope & Content<\/h2>

Organized into three series: I. Recordings; II. Shot lists; III. Release forms.<\/p>

Provenance Information<\/h2>

Lynne Sachs was contacted by Library Director Dr. Larry Wilt and Chief Curator Tom Beck regarding the donation of her original source material used to create, “Investigation of a Flame,” (2001) a documentary film about the Catonsville Nine. The Library agreed to cover the costs of digitization by DiJiFi; the digital files were sent to UMBC in Fall 2013 (MSS 2013-03). The available release forms and a digital file copy of the documentary were sent by Lynne Sachs in December 2013 (MSS 2013-05).<\/p>

The collection was processed in Fall 2013 and Spring 2014 by Archivist Lindsey Loeper with assistance from student assistant Alex Geiger. The files were transferred to the secure server and reviewed for any irregularities. Original file names were captured and then the files were renamed using a standard format. The shot lists and recordings that the Library has permission to display will be added to CONTENTdm at a later date.<\/p>
