Since today is 12/12/12, it seems appropriate that we can now announce that the digital remarks and presentations of the Makino Symposium of 11/11/11 have just been made available online for viewing on Columbia’s YouTube channel.  Twelve remarks/presentations from the symposium, “The Makino Collection at Columbia: the Present and Future of an Archive,” are now linked from the Symposium webpage.

The Makino Symposium and its digitized presentations are the first in a series that will form a digital library of research on and online access to the unique archival materials at Starr Library.  We hope that this new digital library builds a global community of scholars who will benefit from the research on these special materials.
