DATE LINE: High Springs, Florida:
A.R.T. (Animation Rescue Team) is the active volunteer arm of the ASIFA Archive Project. I set up an archive move last week before I left California on family business. Being out of state I did not get to take part in the actual move. Here is a report from Jon Reeves, point man on the recent A.R.T. move of the end of the Herb Klynn collection that took place this last Monday in West Los Angeles.

Three paintings, not heavy, but large - just barely fit in Linda's SUV (and only because we put her rear seats in our cars). Also 2 small tables that Steve identifies as being from UPA, three portfolio cases (2 had complete pitches - in one case, with story outline - for unrealized features - much nice artwork there). Three or four boxes of artwork and posters. Bunch of spare black mattes with Format logo. One set of transparencies that had Steve drooling. A few wedding photos (spare, I assume). Also one ATAS jacket.

If you would like to be part of this team of front line animation rescuers email me at mailto:larry@agni-animation.com and be sure to put the words Animation Rescue in the subject line of your email.

Yes, there is work involved in these moves but they are also exciting and a lot of fun. It is like Christmas morning, you never know what is going to be in the boxes.
