MITH is very proud to announce that the Virtual Lightbox will be used by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at the national Crimes Against Children Conference in Dallas in August. The conference is for law enforcement personnel from around the country. There will be a lab where attendees can come in and view sanitized images of children to help identify victims, or give leads about their location. The Lightbox is part of the application that enables attendees to manipulate the image.

Recording voice and sound material once was revolutionized by the portable tape recorder. Today historians, archivists, linguists, and other scholars are exploring portable digital technologies such as the MiniDisc(http://www.minidisc.org/) to capture, manipulate, and preserve human speech.
All are invited to discuss their experiences working with sound recordings and technology. Two graduate students have offered to briefly share their work and talk about their experiences with oral history and linguistic recording using MiniDisc. We would love you to join us.
