A Gift From Anime Weekend Atlanta

Today, we received a Christmas present from Lloyd Carter of Anime Weekend Atlanta... Four Maxtor One Touch III Turbo Edition 1TB 7200RPM Firewire/USB Hard Drives...

Lloyd visited the Archive a little over a month ago, and he asked if there was anything we needed to help take the project to the next level. I explained that up to now, everything we digitize is backed up to two DVD-R copies. This is inexpensive, but consumes a tremendous amount of volunteer time. If we had enough hard drives, we could load the drives with images and movie files quickly and not spend hours and hours burning and verifying DVDs. Lloyd remembered us and put us on his Christmas list. The four drives he donated will get us started backing up to drives instead of DVDs, and will free up the volunteers to work on building the database, instead of running backups.

We still need a dozen more of these drives to back up all the material we've digitized so far. If you can help out, please donate through the PayPal link, mail us a donation, or arrange to have this particular model of hard drive sent to us. The ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive is a 501(c)(3) non profit, so your donation may be tax deductible. (See your tax accountant for details.)
