The UT Southwestern Special Collection Library and University Archive is proud to announce that they were awarded the SCAMeL Speedy Start Up Grant for phase one of the digitization of the University Lecture series. The award amounts to $4,660 and will cover the digitization of 30 VHS tapes as well as the closed captions for these tapes. The tapes chosen were from prominent scientist who work(ed) at the university as well as Nobel Laureates who were invited to speak. About half of the lecturers have since passed away so these lectures offer a true look into scientific history. We are excited to share these videos with the UTSW campus community and the larger region of scientists when they are completed.
