Researchers must use access copies of electronic records and digital access copies of
digitized audio recordings. There are no other access restrictions on the materials, and
the collection is open to all members of the public in accordance with state law.
The researcher assumes full responsibility for conforming with the laws of libel,
privacy, and copyright which may be involved in the use of this collection (Wisconsin
Statutes 19.21-19.39).
The Archives received signed release forms from all interviewees.
Jeff Pearcy and Will Fellows donated the collection to the Archives in March 2007
(accession 2007-045).
Dan Vinson, supervised by Christel Maass, processed the collection at the Archives in
March and April 2008.
During processing, the digital video received on DVD was ripped as an .iso file, which
now serves as the preservation master. The DVD serves as the access copy. An alternative
access copy was created in Windows Media Video [.wmv] format in June 2013 using the Prism
Video File Converter.
George Blood L.P digitized the audio cassette recordings in February 2016. Audio
preservation master files were created as 96 kHz/24-bit resolution 2 channel broadcast
.wav files. Audio access copies were created as 44 kHz/192 kbps bit rate 2 channel .mp3
files.
