A link to ITMA would be handy, Mark.

Although the links Mark made us aware of are posted, I still hope that some day in the near future the entire archive will be made available. I have written and spoken to them in the past about the issue of copyright and other legal issues, but there is a treasure of history in the archives. Access, even for a fee would be a wonderful thing. As graduate students have access to dissertations, and thesis from others for personal revue, maybe the archives could be available to non resident researchers. I know one can physically go to the buildings and make arrangements to listen live, and that is a wonderful resource, but having remote access would be a gem.

I think "Katy" is really Lorraine O'Brien.
