ODU received funds in December.
Staff is hired and ready to go.
UVA will not be receiving this funding but grant sponsored projects support this year's initiatives and are going well. GMU has been scanning every day and has used funding for staff. VT has made arrangements with PhotoGraphic Services for scanning and will also pay students to enter metadata into the Scholarly Communications Project's Digital Imagebase with VIVA funds. SCC will not make any commitments at this point other than as a opportunity to meet with individuals responsible for the documentary heritage at these repositories. Two school systems have responded and Betsy will draft a thank you and clarification of issues raised.
