NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION
Public Meeting With Interested Vendors for Ordering Reproductions
of Still Photographs, Aerial Film, Maps, and Drawings
AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
ACTION: Notice of meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: NARA will hold a meeting to discuss the continued
privatization of reproduction services for still pictures, aerial film,
maps, and drawings. On March 6, 1995, NARA began a test phase of new
procedures for the delivery of reproduction services for records which
NARA customers request from the Still Picture Branch (NNSP), the
Cartographic and Architectural Branch (NNSC), and the Nixon
Presidential Materials Staff (NLNP). NARA permitted vendors to set up
work stations in College Park, MD, where the still photographs and
cartographic and architectural records are housed and made available.
The three units referred customer requests for reproduction of these
media to the vendors, who determined fees, collected payments,
performed the copying work, and mailed the reproductions to the
customers. The purpose of this one-year trial program was to: (1)
verify the degree to which the privatization of the reproduction order
fulfillments of
[[Page 561]]
NNSP, NNSC, and NLNP could improve customer service; and (2) ascertain
the extent to which digital scanning can satisfy requirements from
NARA's customers. NARA has decided to extend the program for one more
year, with some changes. All vendors interested in this program,
including vendors already participating, are invited to attend the next
scheduled meeting on January 24, 1996. A follow-up meeting has also
been scheduled for February 15, 1996, to answer any remaining questions
from possible vendors, and to distribute copies of the memorandum of
agreement.
DATES: The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 24, 1996, at
2 p.m. The follow-up meeting will be held on Thursday, February 15,
1996, at 2 p.m.
ADDRESSES: The meetings will be held in Archives II, lecture rooms D
and E, located at 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD.
