Animation Archive Project is ready to roll! Thanks to the help of all of our contributors, and the generous support of Sony Pictures Classics and the Walter Lantz Foundation, we have just placed the order for our main computer for the Animation Archive. For those of you who are tech savvy, here are the specifications...

Macintosh G5 2.7 ghz dual processor
2 gigs of RAM
Two 400 gig hard drives
16x dual layer DVD burner
30 inch high definition flatscreen cinema display

We are very close to being able to purchase the three workstation iMacs. All we need to reach our fundraising goal for the first stage of the project is a few thousand dollars. We're so close we can smell it!

I'll post pictures of the equipment as soon as we receive it and set it up at the Animation Center in Burbank. I will be addressing the Act of Membership meeting at the end of May about volunteer opportunities with the archives. Please come on down and learn how you can help.

Thanks
