Thread Name: EFDSS has a YouTube channel
Subject: RE: EFDSS has a YouTube channel
Dick,

Presumably your exhaustive research has already discovered the active steps that EFDSS has taken to raise funding for digitisation and web publishing. If not, it's all apparent on the web site.

I've already indicated that the YouTube channel is probably not an appropriate place to put copyright archive material.

To the best of my knowledge, the dissemination of the archive material is in the hands of professionals who know what they are doing and are advised by people at the top of their game - ie. folks from the British Library and and the National Sound Archive. Whatever advice you are likely to proffer from your amateur standpoint as an archivist is unlikely to interest them as professionals.

The EFDSS YouTube channel is doing a job that is appropriate - end of story.

The comment about the management not being able to sing was tongue in cheek , as it seemed that you were making them personally responsible for demonstrating traditional singing and I quote....

It is the role of the EFDSS MANAGEMENT to demonstrate how traditional singers sang songs,

If that's not what you meant, why not phrase your posts with a little more care?
