NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION


Public Meeting With Interested Vendors on a Proposal for Ordering 
Reproductions of Still Photographs, Aerial Film, Maps, and Drawings

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice of meeting and action.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NARA announces its intent to change procedures for providing 
reproductions of archival still photographs, aerial film, maps, and 
drawings from the Still Picture Branch, Cartographic and Architectural 
Branch, and other units of the National Archives. An initial meeting 
with interested vendors was held on December 21, 1994. The proposal 
will privatize the reproduction of these archival materials by allowing 
customers to place their orders directly with vendors. In addition, 
NARA will assign work space to the vendors in its new building in 
College Park, MD, in order that the materials can be copied on its 
premises. The proposed procedures, scheduled to begin on March 6, 1995, 
and continue for a one-year trial period, are intended to expedite the 
reproduction ordering process and to ascertain the extent to which 
digital scanning can satisfy customer requirements. All vendors 
interested in this test are invited to attend the next scheduled 
meeting.

DATES: The meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 25, 1995, at 10 
a.m.
    The trial period is proposed to begin on March 6, 1995, and end on 
March 6, 1996.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in Archives II, lecture rooms C and 
D, located at 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD.

    Dated: January 11, 1995.

Acting Archivist of the United States.
