The archive consists of 96 interviews on CD; some interviews have two disks due to extended length
Some Statistics
Consider that a standard compact disk holds 70 minutes of sound, therefore a 90 minute interview will need to be spread over two disks
There are a total of 108 CDs in the collection - resulting in about 7000+ hours of interviews!
To transcribe 72 interviews (which was the original target figure) it took over 30,000 hours! (which if one person did it, would take 3.5 years non-stop!)
There were 14 helpers in the transcribing
There were 756 jewel cases used to contain CDs for the 7 copies of the archive (including NEFA's archive copy)
There were 756 face labels on the CDs
There were 756 index tags on the jewel cases
One archive alone takes an average of 6.25 hours to copy - so x7=43.75 hours to copy all the sets (around 2 days non-stop, it actually took about 2 weeks)
12 groups were involved in the interviewing
14 minidisk recorders were]]> Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:06:48 +0000 mod http://formartine.pbwiki.com/ReferenceArchive email.hidden@example.com (fiona-jane) fiona-jane edited ReferenceArchive Ellon Academy Library, Schoolhill, Ellon, AB41 9JS; Tel: (01358) 720715
